Texas police say thieves swiping copper off power lines 'right before your eyes:' 'They’ll go to any length'

Police in Garland, Texas, say they’ve seen a spike in copper thefts, some of which are being committed in broad daylight. 

"There’s been an increase in copper thefts and the criminals committing these crimes are doing it right before your eyes," said Lt. Pedro Barineau in an X video posted Tuesday. 

Barineau said the criminals will go to "any length" using pole saws, handsaws or even climbing utility poles.
