Copper Theft

Every day, CMEC works hard to keep your service as reliable as possible. But, copper theft threatens that hard work.  Across the state, electric cooperatives are reporting a huge increase in copper theft.  In some cases, thieves have taken wire worth only $50 as copper scrap while causing $4000-$5000 in damage.  They have also caused outages endangering members who depend on electricity for medical equipment. When thieves steal from an electric cooperative, all of the members are left holding the bill for repairs. For this reason, we need your help in order to put a stop to these crimes. If you witness any of the following around power lines, offices, or substations, please call your local authorities or CMEC immediately.

What should you look for?

• Any suspicious activity along our power lines

• Unmarked vehicles parked near warehouses or substations

• Damage to fences or gates around substations and cooperative offices

• Unidentified trucks or trailers hauling wire on or off reels

WARNING:  Copper theft is classified as a felony and Central Missouri Electric will prosecute to the full extent of the law.
