PUD 3 released this picture of suspected copper thieves captured in a
surveillance footage on Aug. 3.
By KEVAN MOORE
A break-in Wednesday,
Aug. 3, at a Mason County
PUD 3 substation on the
Tahuya Peninsula west of
Belfair resulted in the theft
of copper and cable connec-
tors from the high-voltage
transformer and distribu-
tion equipment.
The theft remains under
investigation by the Mason
County Sheriffs Office.
PUD 3 personnel discov-
ered the damage during a
routine maintenance visit
late Thursday afternoon.
"This is an extremely bra-
zen and dangerous crime,"
said Bob Smith, PIED 3 op-
erations manager. "Not only
were the suspects putting
themselves in extreme dan-
ger, but when a substation's
grounding system is dam-
aged it can present a danger
to the public near the facil-
ity and PUT) workers who
may need to enter the area
to conduct maintenance
work."
Besides safety concerns,
the cost to replace the cable
can be expensive. In this in-
cident alone, PUD officials
estimate that the response
to the theft and the cable
replacement may cost PUD
customers nearly $10,000.
The cost of material stolen
has been estimated at $200.

ment of Energy estimates
