WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 2024 - AT&T is offering a hefty reward to anyone who comes forward with information about the theft of its copper cabling and leads to an arrest and conviction.

A spike in copper cable thefts in recent months has left AT&T customers in South Dallas, Texas, without phone and internet service on more than a few occasions. 

AT&T said it was collaborating with local officials and the police in the Dallas area. The company offered residents a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in connection with copper cable thefts.
