Police Seek Suspects In Power Plant Break-Ins

UNION TOWNSHIP (KDKA) -- Southwest Regional Police and First Energy are asking for help in finding several suspects wanted in connection with two break-ins at a local power plant.

According to police, the incidents happened on Nov. 9 and Dec. 31 at the Mitchell Power Station on Route 837 in Union Township.

In the Nov. 9 incident, police say they are looking for six suspects who broke in and caused damage to the building and equipment.
