Verizon offers $50,000 reward in copper thefts



New Castle News Friday, August 15, 2014 6:11 am



A phone utility is offering a reward for copper cable thefts in [the town of] Wampum.



Verizon said it is prepared to pay up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for recent thefts of copper telephone cables.

I find it kind of ironic that this article was posted immediately after the one saying that Verizon is trying to phase out their copper network in favor of fiber. Maybe the thieves thought they were doing Verizon a favor :)
