Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 00:24 · Archive
A man was arrested after travelling through Nebraska with $250,000 in stolen copper on Wednesday, the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office said. He was stopped whilst driving a freightliner truck westbound on I-80 near Lincoln at 2:12 p.m. after a deputy noticed the enclosed trailer leaning heavily to one side.
When questioned, the driver was unable to provide registration for the vehicle or a bill of lading for the cargo. He claimed the company he worked for did not provide such documents, which the sheriff's office said was inconsistent with standard commercial industry standards. The driver initially provided an ID that did not appear to belong to him and resisted arrest, requiring deputies to force him into the cruiser.
Inside the truck, law enforcement found two additional IDs with different names, including one reading 'No Name Given Raman Pal', which matched the arrested driver. The cargo trailer contained 11 pallets of copper wire with no seal, lock or tie downs securing the load, which had shifted to one side. A bill of lading found in the truck indicated the load was picked up from Imperial Metal Group in Chicago and was supposed to be delivered to Lakeside Auto Recyclers in Carter Lake, Illinois.
