The City of Brantford has launched a province-wide advocacy campaign urging the Ontario and federal governments to take stronger action against scrap metal theft and repeat property crimes.
The campaign is in response to reports from local business owners regarding escalating incidents of break-ins, copper wire theft, and property destruction. These crimes have resulted in significant financial losses, increased insurance premiums, and have caused safety concerns among employees.
The city is calling for stronger scrap metal laws and bail reform to address these issues.
