(London.CityRegions.com, May 12, 2013 ) England, UK -- Thieves broke into a local fire station in Detroit in order to steal the radiators from the walls. The crime occurred on Detroit's west side at the local fire station.
It is a sign of ever-troubling times in the area, the station is set to close, despite being within one of the busiest departments in the country. The buildings in the general area, some of which hold historic significance, are being left unattended, and thus are targets for scrappers that will stop at almost nothing to get their hands on any item of worth.
The culprits broke into Engine Company 21 in Linwood, stealing cast iron radiators and sinks. The thieves carefully removed the items from the wall, and also took personal equipment as they did so. The station had items left over after being closed in the fall of 2012.
The station is still used now and again by firefighters, who check in on it, but it has not been occupied for some time. The building has stood in the area since 1929, and residents now fear it simply is not secured. Scrappers will slowly destroy it if it is not looked after. That leaves the city with few options, including the demolishing of the building, which many residents do not like the concept of.
The police have few leads and it is highly unlikely that the culprits will be caught, but are still asking anyone with information to come forward to assist in the investigation.
This is not the first time this has happened within the area. Residents that live near the station say they expect it will not be the last time either.
The radiators and steel can be sold or melted down for their worthwhile components. Stripping of abandoned buildings often sees a surge during economic downturn. And with Detroit being one of the most affected areas in the last half-decade following the housing crash, there has been a rash of scrappers events over that same period of time.
