In March, an employee at the newly built VA Hospital discovered that a significant amount of copper piping and brass valves had been stolen from the mechanical room. During the investigation, a detective with the Abilene Police Department observed several sales of copper and brass fittings being made to a salvage store in north Abilene.
The suspect has been identified as Steven Lomelin. Evidence indicates that he had seven pawn tickets issued in his name, totaling $2,945.65. Additionally, police found Lomelin’s fingerprints in an area of the building where the suspect had made preparations to strip copper wiring. The estimated damage from this incident is $127,000.
Lomelin was booked into the Taylor County Jail on a $70,000 bond for criminal mischief.
