More than 300 students are in jeopardy of losing their sport’s season after someone stole the copper wiring from a football stadium in Olney.More than 300 students are now left in the dark and are in jeopardy of losing their sport’s season after someone stole the copper wiring from a football stadium in Olney, shutting off all the lights.
"Copper wire was cut from each pipe that runs underground to each light, said Devine. "If you cut the connection, you can pull from each light and pull it out. The copper wire is worth money that can be traded into scrapyards for cash…at least a crew of four or five people did this for a couple of hours."President of Olney Eagles Youth Football Association, Ed Huntley, explained how this act of vandalism is negatively impacting the students and community.
"How much copper is in these little wires for you to take that over the kids, happiness and their safety," said Huntley. "I don't think that's fair."
