Summary
$10,000 is being offered by Kinetic for information leading to the arrest and conviction of people behind recent copper thefts in Oklahoma.
At least 25 thefts have hit Tulsa, Broken Arrow and Wagoner Counties over the past three months, with one reported as recently as last weekend and cables stolen almost daily last week.
Thousands of feet of cable have been taken, causing outages that Kinetic said endanger customers and threaten fire, police, 911 and healthcare communications.
Kinetic said crews are restoring service while the company works with local law enforcement and adds night-vision cameras and GPS trackers to curb the thefts.
