SideBar Related Items Stories Videos Reported by Kaitlyn Pratt Edited by Steve Dixon GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. (MyFOX Atlanta) -- The lights are back on at a popular Gwinnett County park Tuesday night. Copper thieves left hundreds of soccer players in the dark for days. It's the county's fifth copper theft in the last two months. Police believe at least three of the cases are connected. Gwinnett county police said the damage at all five area fields adds up to at least $70,000. Those who play at the latest park hit are taking it personally. Pintsize players pass a soccer ball - feet away from where an electrician works - replacing copper wiring. Police said thieves yanked hundreds of pounds of underground wiring from Pickneyville Park Thursday. "What they did is came in and clipped everything - and then they pulled the main out," said service electrician Bob Lipps. The thieves went from pole to pole -- leaving all five fields without lights. "We had to shorten the practices and have everybody start up at four - and we had to quit about 7:15. We don't want the kids here after dark," said James Welch of the Norcross Soccer Academy. Norcross Soccer Academy players and parents helped pay for the lights years ago. "It's almost like someone steals something from you personally," said Welch. Copper crooks can get about $3.00 per pound - a payout electricians say isn't worth the risk. "It can kill you quick. It can kill you real quick," said Lipps. Electricians wrapped up their work after five days. "They didn't win, we're going to play soccer and it's going to be lit up," said Welch. Because many of the wires cut and yanked stretched through the fields, electricians believe the copper crooks used a truck to yank them from the ground.
