West Mercia Police officers are appealing for information following a large amount of cable being pulled from the ground in Catshill, Bromsgrove.
Last Wednesday (4th December) at around 5pm, high value cable wire, which runs underground and was accessed through a manhole cover, was cut along the B4091 on Stourbridge Road.
The following day (Thursday 5th December) at around 11.55pm, the same stretch of wire has been cut at a different point further up on the same road. The cable has then been attached to a vehicle and dragged out of the ground, before being cut up and taken away.
PC Paul Coles, who is investigating the theft said: “There are two separate occasions when potential witnesses could have been passing through the road.
“We are keen to speak to anyone who saw anything suspicious on either of the days and times previously stated, or to see dashcam footage which could help with our enquiries.
“Please call 07773054540 or email paul.coles@westmercia.police.uk if you think you can help.”
