Residents believe their internet disruptions are the result of thieves stealing copper wiring, and they want something done about it.
Residents in a northeast Dallas neighborhood off Skillman Street are fed up with repeated internet disruptions.They told NBC 5 that disruptions had happened multiple times over the past several weeks. Resident Mitchell Mills said he recently woke up to the sound of sawing in the middle of the night and soon realized someone was attempting to take copper from the wiring close to his backyard.
Mills said he called the police and got a case number, but he’s concerned not much is being done to address the problem. “My understanding is that they’re using, for example, those bucket trucks that they can perhaps go rent. Some are using ladders. So, they’re very creative,” said Dallas City Councilwoman Carolyn King Arnold.Report shows over 25% of Fort Worth homes owned by commercial interests – implications for buyers
