Theft of Metal Increases in Rock County Higher scrap metal prices result in thefts of kegs and other metal from Rock County businesses and homes. Beloit Police Sergeant Mark Franseen says all kinds of metal from iron to steel and aluminum to copper are being stolen because they bring a high price. Police usually discover the motive for the theft when they make an arrest. Franseen says restaurants in Rock County are reporting kegs stolen and a church in Beloit has had copper gutters stolen. Franseen says it's a crime of opportunity and the best form of prevention is to remove metal objects from view. Franseen says local scrap yards call police when someone brings in an object, like a keg, that appears to be stolen. Drug Houses The
