The Fort Worth Police Department is asking for the public's assistance in identifying two suspects involved in a cable wire theft from Labor Day Weekend. The incident occurred on Saturday, August 31, 2024, at approximately 8:30 p.m., when two individuals entered a business park in the 4000 block of E Loop 820 S in east Fort Worth. The suspects attached a chain from their truck's bumper to a section of AT&T wire, resulting in a transformer explosion and power outages for nearby homes.
The following day, around 1 p.m., the suspects returned to the same location in the same truck. Surveillance footage captured one suspect cutting the wire with a tool while the second suspect assisted in loading it into the truck bed.
The Fort Worth Police Department has released the video of both incidents on YouTube:
