Suspected copper thieves cut down 250 feet of AT&T cable [telecom]

By Hal Scheurich

Three weeks after the crime, the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office made three arrests in a big copper theft. Investigators said the copper came from phone and communications wire belonging to AT&T. AT&T recognized the theft on September 3, 2019 after receiving complaints that their service was out, north of Stockton.

"They sent their engineers up that way, their crews to try and figure out what happened and why there is an outage and boom! They find two hundred and fifty feet of their wire has been cup down over a bridge span," explained Capt. Clint Cadenhead with the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office.
