Walsall man jailed for more than a year after £4k copper cabling theft in North Wales
Walsall man sentenced to 13 months.
A 24-year-old Walsall man has been put behind bars for 13 months after stealing copper cabling from BT in Porthmadog, North Wales.
Thomas Keenan, 24, of Montgomery Road, Walsall, appeared for sentencing at Caernarfon Crown Court on Friday, September 11.
In May 2023, Keenan broke into BT's property and stole six wooden drums of copper cabling, valued at around £4000.
Keenan had previously admitted to burglary.
PC Stephen Jones said: “Copper theft is not a victimless crime and has real-life impacts on businesses and members of the community.
“We take reports of burglary seriously and will pursue any perpetrators to bring them to justice.”
