VIENNA — When the scrap metal thieves came back, Joseph Lord was waiting for them with some metal of his own.
Buckshot.
The thieves took off running after seeing Lord return to his Kimball Pond Road machine shop just before noon today.
And Lord, who had earlier lost several tons of scrap metal — and a lot of sleep — to burglars, shot out the tires and windshield of the pickup he found in his machine shop yard carrying 450 pounds of his scrap metal in the bed.
“I shot out both front tires. I put three rounds through the radiator,” he said. “I put two through the windshield. I put the rear window out and put seven pellets through the seat.”
The suspect or suspects are still running and Kennebec Sheriff’s deputies were chasing them late Tuesday.
