Electrical Equipment Taken in Early-Morning Theft

Two people are wanted for stealing electrical equipment from a Copiague store in the early morning hours last month.

On February 14, at about 6:43 a.m., two people broke into the Home Depot on 1101 Sunrise Highway and stole approximately $5,480 in electrical equipment. The culprits then made their escape in a white Jeep.

This theft is among the most significant in the area’s recent history, causing not just a considerable financial hit to the store but also potentially affecting local prices and the availability of crucial supplies for both homeowners and professionals.

For anyone with details about the incident or the suspects, Suffolk County Crime Stoppers is available at 1-800-220-TIPS and will provide a cash reward for any information resulting in the suspects’ capture.
