Police are investigating the theft of as much as $180,000 in extermination products in a case that dates from March to December of last year.
A report of a commercial burglary was filed at about 2:21 p.m. Jan. 13, in which Terminix in the 5800 block of W. Las Positas Boulevard noted an unknown number of cases of a chemical had been stolen.
The company uses about $600,000 in chemicals per year, so the loss — $18,000 to $20,000 a month — wasn’t noted until recently.
The case has been forwarded to the Police Department’s investigations division.
In other police reports:
