🚨Copper Cable Theft - Kenthurst, Maraylya and Annangrove 🚨
Hills Police are investigating a series of incidents involving the theft of telecommunications cabling in the Kenthurst, Maraylya and Annangrove areas.
Offenders are targeting power poles along Pitt Town Road, Cattai Ridge Road and Annangrove Road, where Telstra cables are being cut and stolen. Police believe offenders are removing lengths of up to 300 metres at a time, before stripping the cable to obtain copper. ⚠️

We are particularly seeking information about:
• vehicles stopping or parked along these roadways, especially at night or early morning
• persons seen near power poles or roadside infrastructure
• any unusual activity involving cutting, climbing, or handling cables
If you observe suspicious behaviour, **do not approach**, and contact police immediately.
