Metro Transit Police Jan. 30 announced the arrest of Daniel Alan Groseclose, 42, of Edgewater, Md., on grand larceny charges following an investigation into theft of copper from a Rosslyn construction site. It is alleged that on at least two occasions last fall, Groseclose stole sections of copper wire and tubing from the site.
Groseclose worked as an employee for Kone, which is responsible for maintenance of selected escalators and elevators on the Metrorail system. The copper was owned by M.C. Dean Inc.
Kone was cooperative with the investigation, and has advised Metro that they have since dismissed Groseclose as an employee.
Groseclose was arrested by Anne Arundel County Police on MTPD's arrest warrant in Virginia. He is expected to face two counts of grand larceny once extradited to Arlington County.
