Tulsa Police nab theft suspects at industrial plant

Two men are behind bars after police say they broke into a north Tulsa manufacturing facility.

Police say they used a K-9 officer and the police helicopter to track down Christopher Burr and Paul Stevenson at the building owned by a company called Hemphill near Pine and Harvard.

The plant manager says the building has been burglarized multiple times recently and that thieves have stolen roughly one-million dollars worth of copper and equipment.

Both men were booked on complaints of 2nd degree burglary and possession of burglary tools.

Jails records say that Burr is homeless and that Stevenson lives at a Sand Springs address.
