Do an Internet search on the phrase “Copper Theft” and you’ll quickly see that this form of crime is at an epidemic level. The increase in copper theft has been fueled in great part by the demand for copper, which has outpaced the supply, resulting in a huge jump in the price of copper. Selling scrap copper has suddenly become a lucrative enterprise!

Where ever you find copper, you’ll find someone who wants to steal it. Commercial and residential construction job sites are particularly vulnerable, and if you can believe it, copper coils are even being stolen from air-conditioning units all across the country.

Another area that is heavily targeted is commercial broadcasting and cell phone tower sites. These sites typically incorporate large copper buss bars that are used for grounding purposes as well as copper antenna feed lines and because these sites are often at remote locations, they make very tempting targets for would-be copper thieves. Because it often takes considerable time for the theft to be discovered, the thieves are usually long gone by the time law enforcement is notified and is able to respond to the scene.

The Optical Loop Sensor Security Module shown below is a newly developed device that can be incorporated into a wide variety of security and monitoring applications that when properly installed, can provide immediate notification of site intrusion and tampering, leading to tremendously improved response time by law enforcement personnel and improved levels of deterence.
