Member of copper theft ring gets 10-year sentence


Associated Press

An Oçahu man at the center of a copper theft ring has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Friday’s sentencing for Joseph Tano on criminal conspiracy to commit theft and money laundering charges came after a plea agreement.
Authorities have said that the ring stole some 72,000 pounds of lightpole wiring from Oahu’s H-1 and H-2 freeways.
Two other key members of the ring were sentenced earlier to 10 years each.
