(CORBEIL, ON) - The North Bay Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is investigating two separate incidents of copper theft from a communications tower located on Centennial Crescent in Corbeil. The thefts occurred in the early morning hours of Monday, July 14, 2025, and again on Thursday, July 16, 2025.

The tower is situated within a fenced compound secured with a padlock and chains. Upon inspection, the enclosure was found unsecured, and the locking mechanisms were missing.

The tower, which stands between two buildings, has cables running up from both structures. The cables appear to have been cut using a power tool. It is believed that the tower was then climbed and the opposite ends of the cables were also severed.

The North Bay OPP Crime Unit and the OPP Forensic Identification Services (FIS) are engaged with the ongoing investigation.
