St. Croix: Our public housing communities are being plagued by vandals who are stealing aluminum windows, electrical wiring, and copper tubing from propane gas tanks used by residents for cooking; it is all being sold as scrap metal. Most often, the persons involved are not residents of that particular community. When we come together to help our neighbors, we are helping our community grow and prosper. Give law enforcement the information to identify and prosecute the ones responsible for these incidents.
