Two men have been charged with the theft of 133 pounds of insulated copper wiring from a Fort Shafter housing site in Kalihi that was scheduled for demolition.

Richard Wallace Malone and Matthew Clyde Pacopac, both 30, were each charged with first-degree burglary at 10:30 p.m. Saturday following their arrest at 1110 Macomb Road at 8:40 a.m. Bail for each is $25,000 pending their initial appearance today at District Court.

Military police conducting checks of the housing area said they caught the two men inside a building in possession of copper wiring. The suspects were turned over to police.

Malone also faces drug charges for allegedly having a glass pipe with drug residue.
