The Wisconsin Potato & Vegetable Growers Association (WPVGA) recently announced that a fund has been established to offer a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any individual or group for stealing metal such as copper or aluminum from WPVGA members' farms.
Anyone with information about metal theft is asked to contact Detective Gary Koehmstedt with the Portage County Crime Stoppers at 715-346-1400 or 888-349-6600.
The reward fund, which was used successfully in past years, will pay a significant sum of money for information leading to the arrest and conviction of people responsible for these thefts.
