GREENSBORO, N.C., Aug. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kinetic, the local residential and business fiber internet provider, is offering
The most recent case occurred in Moore County, Richmond County and Forsyth County and involved thieves cutting copper and fiber optic cables and stealing critical infrastructure, interfering with residents鈥� ability to call 911 and access essential services.
More than 50 customers in Moore County have been impacted as a result of multiple incidents since the night of Aug. 10. In areas around Pinebluff, some customers have found themselves without service up to five times since mid-July because of copper thefts. Often these outages occurred at nearly the same time as technicians were repairing previous damage.
鈥淭his is not a victimless crime; Carolinians rely on connectivity for their safety, and we take these damages and thefts very seriously,鈥� said Stacy Hale, president of Kinetic鈥檚 Southeast Operations. 鈥淲hen copper and fiber cuts occur, they damage telecommunications infrastructure that connects first responders, emergency services, hospitals, and law enforcement, preventing the ability to respond in times of need.鈥�
Some of the recent thefts have occurred near:
- Yadkinville Road between Inwood Drive and Bridalcreek Drive
- Ellen Avenue and Reynolda Road, Tobaccoville
- YMCA Camp Road in King
- Yadkinville Road and Shattalon Drive
Richmond authorities recently caught two thieves who were in the middle of stealing copper cable.
鈥淲e are stepping up our integration with local law enforcement, as well as deploying active deterrent measures,鈥� Hale said. 鈥淚f someone is caught stealing, or vandalizing our infrastructure, we will work with local prosecutors and ask for the strongest punishments, as this is a direct attack against public safety and well-being in the area. But while we are taking aggressive action, our best line of defense remains the local community staying vigilant so that fewer people are impacted by these crimes.鈥�
