Break-in Discovered at West Deptford Solar Farm
Police have not determined a motive in the incident.
An unexplained hole in the fence of a West Deptford solar farm is no immediate cause for concern, say police—although they don't have any leads on who did it or why.
At 9:56 a.m. on May 9, West Deptford police received a call from an employee of NextEra Energy Resources to report a damaged fence at its Crown Point Rd. location.
The employee told police that when he arrived at the site that morning, he'd noticed a 3-feet-by-3-feet hole had been cut in a section of the 8-foot chain link fence that surrounds the property near Paradise Rd.
