Two Boston Housing Authority employees are facing charges in the theft of copper from a Roslindale complex, police said.

Lucius Graham, 36, of Roslindale, and John Bernburg, 49, of Lakeville, were arrested Friday night after officers found them in the basement of a building in the Archdale Village public housing development, Boston police said.

The two were charged with breaking and entering a residence in the night, larceny, and malicious destruction of property, police said. Officers found copper and water pipes all over the floor, as well as copper pipes pulled from the wall, police said. Police also found Graham and Bernburg hiding behind a trash barrel. (AP)
