Benbrook residents, here’s a heads-up that hits closer to home than you might think.
Fort Worth has seen a staggering 500% spike in copper theft over the past two years, and the ripple effect reaches far beyond the crime scene.
Thieves are targeting communication lines, often mistaking them for copper-rich cables. The twist? Many of these lines don’t even contain copper. Still, the damage is done, and the consequences are serious. From school and hospital outages to business and phone service disruptions, these thefts can grind entire systems to a halt.
It’s not just a Fort Worth problem — it’s a regional concern that impacts us all. Stay alert, stay informed, and check out the full interview with Sgt. Anthony White and Spectrum’s Craig Civale to learn more about this growing issue.
