Thieves for a third time have stolen copper from the University of Colorado’s biotechnology building construction site, even after contractors hired around-the-clock guards and installed security cameras.

Officials are still tallying how much copper wiring was stolen from the construction site, said CU police spokeswoman Molly Bosley. But, she said, at least $2,000 worth of tools were swiped during the burglary incident that authorities are investigating.

The incident at CU is part of a continuing, nationwide problem as the value of scrap copper has risen to an all-time high, prompting a flurry of thefts.
