Bryce Newberry , Reporter. Video shared with KPRC 2 shows several hooded men in a black truck cutting the wires and loading them in the back of the truck. Somebody call the cops! As one of the guys stumbled back into the truck, the driver quickly sped away and video captured most if not all of the stolen materials falling out.
Neighbors first saw them climbing a tree before the wires crashed to the ground. A pole holding the thick, heavy wires snapped and crashed into a fence and carport, which both had damage.
Customers have been told it could be a couple days before it comes back on. Robert Carson said during a press conference on the issue last year.
If you recognize the men in the video or the vehicle, call HPD. Theft and vandalism of critical communications infrastructure are serious matters that disrupt essential services for our customers, public safety and the community at large. We understand how essential these services are and appreciate the patience of our customers. We are working with the Texas Legislature to pass stiffer penalties and give police and prosecutors stronger tools for addressing copper theft and associated fiber vandalism.
