in the U.S. on government/federal property
now here is the story .. a guy at work got caught in action stealing copper wire (he had it in his lunch box with his name on it and they found it)
After they interrogated him, they were able to comply a "list" of people that they "SUSPECT" has stolen copper as well.
Well today they (government investigators) were calling people in the office asking them questions wondering if they were stealing copper as well. Basically wanting them to admit to it to make their investigation easier.
Now my question is, say for instance that they're able to figure out that a buddy of mine (that works on the same job site) SOLD some copper and also where he SOLD it at, can they still charge him for STEALING copper from the job site? OR would they just charge him for SELLING copper? (is it illegal to sale copper?)
just wondering, any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
thanks!!!
