Ferrous Processing & Trading is committed to supporting industry and government agencies in preventing the rise of metal theft within the United States. Metal thefts have been reported throughout the country and are increasing in frequency as the price of scrap metal continues to rise. A recent report from the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) states that thefts of specific scrap metals including copper are occurring in all part of the United States.
Continued Reports of Scrap Metal Theft Nationwide
The report from the NICB reviewed over 25,000 claims for metal theft including copper, bronze, brass, and aluminum that were presented to the ISO during the years 2009 through 2011. The most common of all metal thefts was copper, which made up of 96% of the claims.
Metal thieves are going to greater and greater lengths to find and steal recyclable metals such as copper. Perpetrators have been known to steal construction materials, rooftop components, air conditioning unit parts, automotive parts, and copper wiring and piping from homes, commercial buildings, and even airports.
Preventing Metal Theft
To prevent copper scrap metal theft, FPT follows the strictest procedural guidelines for accepting and processing scrap metal. Recently, an FPT employee was recognized by the Auburn Police Department for his efforts in assisting with metal theft investigations. The information the FPT employee provided ultimately helped lead the Auburn Hills Police Department to completing several arrests and recovering stolen property.
