SMYRNA POLICE ACTIVE

An investigation by the Smyr-
ma police department over many
weeks resulted in the arrest of
three men and a woman, all of
Wilmington who are being held
in Kent County Jail in default of
bail on charges of grand larceny
following theft of copper wire
valued at $2600 from the Smyrna
electric light plant during the
month of August. The investiga-
ton was carried out by the Smyr-
ma police with the cooperation of
the Wilmington police, the State
Police, and the Dover City Police
Department. Detainers have been
filed against the subjects by Dow
er police and State Police at
State Road. The arrests, accord
ing to police, may have broken up
ring which has been stealing
copper wire from places through
out the state. Scrap wire and new
wire has been taken; with both
used and new copper in demand
it has become a prime target for
thieves, according to Chief of
Police John w. Jacobs, Jr. The
four involved held in bail at the
court of Magistrate George R.
Stevenson were Willie Grayes,
held in $4,000 bail on counts of
breaking and entering and COM
mitting grand larceny; George
Russell, James Randsburg, Jr. and
Leona Marshall, held in $500

sued by Chief of Police Jacobs,
of Smyrna. He implicated Tie
others and they were arrested
later. The investigation is con-
tinuing and other arrests are ex-
pected, according to the Smyrna
police. Chief Jacobs has said
that the four admitted the thefts
in August, and told him that they
took new valuable copper wire
and burned insulation off so it
could be sold to junk dealers.
