Thieves make lights go out at south Tulsa soccer complex

Wed, March 29, 2017 — A south Tulsa soccer complex was hit hard over the weekend by copper thieves.

KRMG's told the suspect or suspects got away with 160 feet of copper.  This has resulted in the lights not working on three fields at the All Star Sports Complex.

The manager of the complex tells us this simple theft comes with a hefty cost.

“People come in and get maybe $200-300 worth of copper,” the manager said.  “To them, I guess, is bank.  To us, is probably several thousands of dollars in repairs.”

Electricians are already hard at work to get the lights turned back on.

For reference, more than 1,000 players use the south Tulsa field.

The manager says the complex plans to increase security.
