PUEBLO, COLO. -- Pueblo Police officers are asking for your help identifying a truck or providing information in a large copper theft from late January.

Officers said between 3,000-5,000 pounds of copper was stolen from Black Hills Energy on Jan. 27. The type of copper taken is normally used for high voltage.

Surveillance photos show the suspected truck - an older white or light-colored single cab pickup with a possible brush guard in the front. It also may have a custom black metal tailgate, and the trailer appears to be a flat bed with a drop gate.
