Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) and Crimestoppers have begun offering a reward of \u00a320,000 to help catch the criminals who were responsible for several thefts of their copper broadband and phone cables around the Thamesmead area of South-East London, which caused significant service disruption for locals.<\/p>\n

The perpetrators of such crimes never have any regard for the harm they cause to residents and businesses, some of which are dependent upon their home phone service. But sadly, it\u2019s not uncommon to see a spate of attacks like this hit the same area before starting to subside as the gang(s) move on – often as a result of increased public awareness, police activity and security enhancements (e.g. CCTV cameras, drones).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Related thefts usually occur late at night, often – but not always – in rural or suburban areas (slower police response) and around manhole covers, cables, poles and any other parts of their broadband network.<\/div>\n

In the most recent example, a live fibre cable was damaged, and copper cables were cut and stolen from the underground communications network. Thieves stole the cables using 4×4 vehicles in the early hours of Monday 8th and Tuesday 9th May, around Leatherbottle Lane, Belverdere.<\/p>\n

Thieves then dragged the cables several miles through Lesnes Abbey Woods, then over the footbridge leading to Southmere Park, before reaching Bazalgette Way, where the cables were then cut. Street furniture and property were also damaged. Another incident occurred in Wolvercote Road (SE2) on Thursday 4th May at around midnight. On this occasion, cables were dragged along Yarnton Way.<\/p>\n

Crimes like this have become increasingly common over the past 2-3 years, driven in part by the high price of copper<\/a>, although a series of arrests toward the end of last year (example<\/a>) – follow by various convictions – did seem to be having a positive impact. Nevertheless, some gangs remain and are continuing to plague certain parts of the UK.<\/p>\n

Emma Sandison, Director of Security Services for Openreach<\/a>, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“These incidents have severely impacted the day-to-day lives of people living in the Thamesmead area of South London. This is due to the loss of connectivity, which is why we have increased the reward on offer. Did you see any suspicious people or vehicles in or around the time and dates of the incidents or in the days leading up to the thefts?<\/p>\n

We are working closely with the Metropolitan Police to catch those who are responsible and we continue to deploy additional security enhancements across the region, 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 Thamesmead seems to have a long history with this sort of activity (here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>). The rollout of full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) broadband services should, eventually, help to mitigate such thefts as fibre has no major value to thieves. However, this won\u2019t completely stop the problem from occurring in the short to medium-term because fibre and copper cables often share some of the same ducts, with copper cable thieves sometimes mistakenly pulling fibre out of the ground too, thinking it\u2019s copper.<\/p>\n

Openreach<\/a> has a partnership with Crimestoppers<\/strong> that offers rewards for information given anonymously to the charity about cable thefts, if it leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible – you can contact them 100% anonymously on 0800 555 111 or use their anonymous online form<\/a>. You can also contact Openreach\u2019s security team direct<\/a>, or if you see a crime in progress, then call the police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
