Henry County police are asking the public for help identifying two men accused of stealing $13,000 worth of metal from a construction site.

The theft occurred April 3, Henry police said Thursday in a news release.

The location of the construction site was not disclosed and it’s unclear exactly what type of metal was stolen.

The suspects were captured on the construction site’s surveillance video, authorities said.  Anyone with information about the case is asked to call investigators at 770-957-9121.

Last week, Cobb County police secured arrest warrants for a Florida airman accused of stealing more than 11,000 pounds of copper wiring from Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta.
