Grand Coulee Police

3/14 - A woman was reported as taking scrap metal from inside a fenced area at the Delano Transfer Station, then walking towards the PUD building. Police spoke to a man walking on trails near the PUD building and noted that he had a dryer cord wrapped around himself. The transfer station manager said he couldn’t describe an additional suspect. He also told police he wouldn’t want to press charges if police found the woman because it likely wouldn’t make a difference.
