Verizon today announced a $25,000 reward program for information leading to the arrest and conviction of individuals involved in vandalism that have cut off thousands of Verizon customers from critical wireless and wireline communications services. Over the past several days, vandals cut multiple fiber cables causing service interruptions for customers in Los Angeles and parts of Southern California. Acts of network theft and vandalism represent a direct threat to the safety and security of our communities, emergency services, healthcare and all who rely on critical communications. It’s not just California, nationwide, the industry deals with thousands of incidents of vandalism of cables each year. Anyone witnessing vandalism should call 911 and then contact Verizon’s Security department at 1-800-997-3287.
