Copper disappears in Newton

The Newton Tab reports on two thefts reported Feb. 21:

"Thousands of dollars" of copper scrap were reported stolen from a Brentwood Avenue property (the missing copper was stored in four 65-gallon drums, each weighing about 200 pounds).

A contractor noticed "several hundred feet of copper flashing" missing from the roof of Mr. Sid's in Newton Centre. The contractor was there to help the store figure out why its roof had started leaking two weeks earlier.
