Merrimack police are investigating the theft of thousands of dollars worth of tools, wire and pipes from a major construction site.
Police were called to the site of the Merrimack Premium Outlets near Exit 10 of the F.E. Everett Turnpike for the reported thefts over the weekend.
Sometime between Saturday evening and Monday morning, someone accessed the huge construction site in an off-road vehicle and made off with tools, copper wire, pipes and fittings valued at $10,000-$15,000, police said.
The mall has been a topic of some controversy in Merrimack. The first phase of the $100 million project, which will include 100 stores and cover almost 400,000 square feet, is expected to be finished by 2012.
After making its way through the town’s zoning and planning boards, work on the site, which started in September, has been stopped several times after neighbors complained of damage to their homes from rock blasting at the site.
Merrimack detectives are still investigating the thefts and ask anyone with information or anyone who saw something in that area over the weekend to call police at 424-3774. Information can also be submitted anonymously through the Merrimack Crimeline at 424-2424 or at www.merrimackcrimeline.org, police said.
