TULARE COUNTY, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – A man was arrested after workers who were repairing a pump from a copper wire theft recorded suspicious cars in the area Thursday morning, the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office said.

Workers were at an orchard on the east side of Tulare repairing a pump from a recent copper wire theft when they noticed some “suspicious vehicles” on the property.
