RCMP are investigating a theft of copper wire in Steinbach over the weekend.

They were contacted Saturday morning around 11 a-m by an electrical business along Industrial Road. Investigators found the culprits gained entry through a back door and got away with some rolls of wire and a small amount of liquor.
   
Police surveyed the area and also found a number of rolls of the wire had been stashed in some tall grass, presumably to be picked up later. RCMP Winnipeg Forensic Identification Services is assisting in the investigation.
