A Pinckney man is heading to trial on charges of stealing $100,000 worth of scrap metal from his workplace.
Last July, Pinckney Police began an investigation of suspected thefts from a business on Hamburg Street in the Village. Detective Ryan Hamlin determined that an employee, 38-year-old Ian Lumley, started stealing metal within a week of his employment in November of 2019.

Police located the various types of metal, which included copper, brass, stainless steel and aluminum at various scrap dealers in Washtenaw and Wayne counties. Witnesses reported seeing Lumley fill boxes with metal, although no one was sure what he was doing with them.
