JOHNSTOWN, CAMBRIA COUNTY - An alleged copper theft thief is caught trying to sell it off for cash.

Derek Tate is accused of taking copper off of a Penelec substation on Dishong Mountain Road, in Cambria County.

The theft happened back in December.

The 22-year old was identified and taken in to custody after he tried selling the copper at a scrap yard for cash.

Penelec says he caused nearly $12,000 in damages.
