Four Fall River residents face criminal charges after being arrested for allegedly stealing scrap metal from the former Montaup Power Plant in Somerset.

Somerset Police Department responded Wednesday, April 15, to a local business reporting a suspicious truck parked behind their building, according to a release posted Thursday on SPD's Facebook page.

Officers determined that the suspect vehicle matched one that had been previously involved in a break-in at the site of the now-abandoned Montaup Power Plant on Riverside Avenue, which ceased operations in January 2010.

Believing that individuals were likely inside the power plant stealing scrap metal, their release states, officers remained in the area to conduct surveillance. A man was seen attempting to enter the truck a short time later and was approached by police.
