A string of damaging copper cable thefts in rural Cambridgeshire (England), which repeatedly knocked out broadband and phone services for hundreds of homes on Openreach<\/a>’s (BT<\/a>) network in the villages of Swavesey and Witchford, have resulted in the operator offering a reward of \u00a320,000 to help catch those responsible.<\/p>\n

Since the end of last year we’ve reported on a series of attacks against Openreach<\/a>’s infrastructure in the area (here<\/a> and here<\/a>), which were aimed at stealing the operator’s copper cable and seem likely to have been committed by an organised gang of criminals. The price of copper<\/a> remains high and this usually fuels such activity. Sadly, the perpetrators have no regard for the significant harm this causes to local homes and businesses.<\/p>\n

Most recently, large sections of live cable were dragged from the underground network using 4×4 vehicles on Witchford Road, Ely, between 6pm and 9.30pm on Sunday 2 January, and also on Fen Drayton Road, Swavesey, overnight on Tuesday 4 January, between 9.30pm and the early hours of Wednesday 5 January at 2am. There was also previous damage to the network and subsequent disruption in Witchford before Christmas.<\/p>\n

Despite swift action by Openreach engineers, who replaced “hundreds of metres of cable in both locations within just a couple of days<\/em>“, the damage still caused major disruption for hundreds of households, including essential emergency services. Significant damage was also caused to street furniture, farmland and the RSPB nature reserve in Swavesey following “cables being dragged through the protected land.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

The situation has caused so much repeated disruption that the operator is now offering a reward of up to \u00a320,000<\/strong> for anonymous information given to Crimestoppers (call 0800 555 111 or use the online form<\/a>), provided it leads to the conviction of those responsible for the recent cable thefts in Swavesey and Witchford.<\/p>\n

Richard Ginnaw, Head of Security Services for Openreach, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“These incidents have severely impacted the day-to-day lives of people across these areas of Cambridgeshire, and this is why we are offering this reward. Did you see any suspicious people or vehicles in or around the areas targeted, on the dates and times of the incidents, or in the days leading up to the thefts?<\/p>\n

We are working closely with the police to catch those who are responsible and have deployed additional security enhancements across the area, but we also need your help. Please be vigilant, and if you saw anything suspicious on or around the time of the incidents, please report it. If you prefer not to speak directly to police, contact the charity Crimestoppers anonymously.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We should point out that the new generation of optical fibre cables in Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband networks have no value to such thieves, but this doesn\u2019t completely stop the activity because the gangs will sometimes still target those on the mistaken assumption that they might actually be copper. Copper and fibre lines may also share the same duct, thus damage to one can sometimes impact the other.<\/p>\n

Sadly, copper telecoms cables remain a common target (examples here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>) for organised crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
