Most of the foreclosed properties in the greater Providence, RI area are sold without any wiring, plumbing, boilers, furnaces, baseboards or plumbing fixtures because they've all been stolen. Basically they are reduced to a worthless shell that needs total rehab or teardown.

Man Sentenced To 25 Years For Copper Theft

Man Sentenced To 25 Years For Copper Theft

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- A Spartanburg man was given a 25-year prison sentence Friday for his role in a copper theft ring.

Carl Parris, 39, pleaded guilty to 13 counts of accessory after the fact of a felony, 11 counts of petty larceny and two counts of malicious injury to real property.

Parris' sentence is followed by five years probation. He must also pay $14,000 in restitution.

Parris was part of a group that took or attempted to take copper coils, copper tubing and copper pipes from 15 downtown Spartanburg-area businesses and sold the property to scrap metal businesses between July 28, 2007, and April 27, 2008.

Investigators said that the crime spree caused significant damage to local businesses, a church and a building owned by Spartanburg School District 7.

?This sentence should send the message that copper theft is a serious crime with serious consequences,? Principal Deputy Solicitor Barry Barnette said.

Parris' co-defendant Brenda McCoy, 35, has pleaded guilty and she is awaiting sentencing.

Charges are still pending against 27-year-old Jackie Anderson Jr.
