Roofing company reports thefts

A Portland roofing company reported that an estimated $90,000 in building materials, including roofing supplies, insulation and nails, was taken last year during the construction of Walmarts Albany store on Goldfish Farm Road.

Arrow Roofing and Sheet Metal called the Albany Police Department to report the thefts at 11:51 a.m. Wednesday.

Thefts from construction sites are common, but not to this magnitude, said Sgt. Steve Dorn.

Culprits targeting work sites will take anything from backhoes and bulldozers to small items like tools and even nails, he added.

Dorn said the case could prove difficult to investigate because the crimes occurred between April and July 2011.

Arrow Roofing and Sheet Metal apparently realized something was amiss in October 2011, Dorn said.

The company isnt sure exactly what was taken.

Were not going to do anything further until they can verify that the product that was missing was actually on site, Dorn said.

Arrow Roofing and Sheet Metal and Walmarts corporate media relations office didnt return phone calls from Thursday morning.
