A thief took copper pipes from facilities on the West Georgia Health property at 1514 Vernon Road but apparently replaced them with aluminum ones.

According to a report, LaGrange officers were called to check out the theft about 10 a.m. Wednesday, where a person told the officer between 50 and 60 copper drain pipes were taken from three different buildings. The pipes had been replaced with aluminum piping.

The total value of the copper pipes was estimated at more than $1,000.

Police were investigating.

Something fishy

One woman was apparently fed up with alleged juvenile antics in her neighborhood after she found dead fish in her yard in the 1200 block of Troup Street about 9 a.m. Wednesday.

The woman told LaGrange officers she has had problem with kids throwing objects in her yard before.

She did not see who actually threw the fish into her yard, she told police, but wanted to document the incident.
