Court Date Set For Two Pike County Men Accused of Stealing Highway Equipment.
Two Pike County men have a August 14th date in Pike County District Court after they were arrested Wednesday along Route 194 at Kimper after allegedly stealing eight highway grates.
A bond of $ 5,000 each was set for Lorenzo Yascone and Charles D. Thacker. Yascone remains in jail.
A spokesperson for the Kentucky Department of Highways told us that this is not a new problem of people stealing grates in hopes in cashing in the metal. They say however it becomes a safety issue.
Pike County authorities say that metal theft is at an all time high.
