LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A Louisville man is accused of posing as an employee of a local electrical company to steal copper.
Police say Michael Rock and several other men represented themselves as employees of Warren Electric, and placed several orders with companies saying they were repairing lines.
But instead, police say Rock took the copper wire to scrap yards for cash.
Rock used to be an employee with Warren Electric and admitted he called in the fake orders.
