AT&T Cable Theft
February 21, 2022
AT&T CABLE THEFT
Statewide, Alabama
Case: CACS22-0221A
The AT&T Asset Protection Office is currently investigating the theft of Copper Cable in Mobile County Alabama.
Over the past couple of months, individuals have stolen a large amount of AT&T copper cable in the areas of Mobile County and Lucedale, Mississippi. When cable is cut and/or stolen, customers are oftentimes out of service for hours or sometimes days.
These cable thieves will often cut the cable down from the poles and remove the sheathing, often by burning. The thieves will then take the copper to a scrap yard for money. Under the Alabama Code, scrap yards must verify identification of individuals who bring in copper wire that has been burned, unless verifiable documentation is provided that the source of the copper wire was in a building destroyed by fire. AT&T is requesting assistance from the public in identifying these copper thieves.
Attached are photographs taken from actual copper theft investigations. Authorities hope that this helps the community to recognize when thieves are actively attempting to steal and disrupt service.
