    The San Luis Obispo Police Department is searching for the person who stole $10,000 worth of copper downspouts from stores in the Irish Hills Shopping Center late Wednesday night, the agency announced in a post on X.

    At about 11:30 p.m., the suspect ripped at least 40 downspouts from the outside of the buildings, police spokesperson Christine Wallace said. A downspout is a vertical pipe that moves water out of a building’s gutter.

    At least 10 businesses were effected by the theft, she said. The shopping center includes Costco, Old Navy and Home Depot.

    The stolen downspouts ranged from “a few feet” to 30-feet long, Wallace said.

    People with information about the theft can call the investigating officer at 805-594-8093 or Crimestoppers at 805-594-STOP. Reference the case number 240715061 when discussing the theft with police, the agency said.
