Thieves have targeted a new electric vehicle charging station in Sumner.

A photo of an electric vehicle station in Sumner that has recently been targeted by metal thieves for the second time within one month. All the cables were clipped just days after they were installed, but it’s not the first time it’s happened.

Puget Sound Energy unveiled the new chargers on March 7, making it their first EV charging station in Pierce County.“This was the second time that they’ve been cut. Once the construction was finished in early mid-November, they were cut off at that point in time, and that delayed having the ribbon-cutting ceremony," said Radcliffe.Sumner police said they are investigating this vandalism but believe the thieves were probably targeting the copper wire.
