The Cambridgeshire Constabulary has appealed for information after they revealed that Openreach<\/a>’s UK broadband and phone network in the county had been attacked eight times since May 2023 by criminal gangs, which typically target the theft of underground copper cables and often cause significant service outages.<\/p>\n

In this case the criminals are understood to have targeted locations including the A10 Waterbeach, A1198 Cambourne, Linton, Mepal, Soham, Somersham, Wickham and Wooley. “They will lift up manhole covers by grass verges or carriageways to access the underground cables, often masquerading as legitimate contractors. The plastic sheathing on the cables will then be burnt in fields and the metal inside sold on<\/em>,” said the force.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Such 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

The perpetrators of such crimes never have any regard for the harm they cause to locals, 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

Sadly, Cambridgeshire<\/strong> has long been a hotbed for such activity, with multiple incidents being reported during 2022 and prior years (examples here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>). Crimes like this have become increasingly common in recent years, driven in part by the high price of copper<\/a>, although a series of UK-wide arrests toward the end of last year (example<\/a>) – followed by some convictions – did seem to put a limited dent in the activity.<\/p>\n

Detective Chief Inspector, Helen Tebbit, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Cable thefts have increased in recent months with the high price of copper fuelling the activity.<\/p>\n

Our patrols have increased across the county and we will also be working with partner agencies, including Openreach<\/a>, to target suspects.<\/p>\n

We are committed to making it harder for cable thieves to operate in our county and we will be targeting areas we believe are at increased risk, but we can\u2019t do it alone.<\/p>\n

We need the public\u2019s help to report anything suspicious or anything they see that might not see quite right, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. Once call could make all the difference and potentially stop cables being stolen.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Richard Ginnaw, Openreach<\/a>, added:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The loss of a phone line can affect really important services, including healthcare, as well as the ability to contact emergency services. It\u2019s also pulling our engineers away from other work. Repairing the damage typically takes days, if not weeks, costing us thousands of pounds. We\u2019re working closely with the police and we\u2019re really grateful for their effort and support.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The rollout of Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) based broadband ISP lines should, eventually, help to reduce 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 thieves sometimes mistakenly pulling fibre out of the ground thinking it\u2019s copper.<\/p>\n

Openreach 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 \u2013 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 report via Cambs Police<\/a>, or if you see a crime in progress, then call the police on 101.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
