Reporting cable theft
Tackling the criminals who target our network
What we’re doing to tackle it
Copper is worth money, which means cable theft is a constant threat. And when cable gets stolen, it can cause problems with phone, broadband and TV services.
We’ve teamed up with the charity Crimestoppers, and we’re using anti-theft technology to help track stolen cable and help convict criminals.
We’re also working with other organisations like the National Crime Agency, British Transport Police and Network Rail, to tackle the problem together.
How you can help
If you see anything suspicious, please report it to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Alternatively, if you would like to tell us directly about anything relating to the theft of cable or malicious damage to our network then please use this form. If you wish, a member of our security team will then be in contact with you. Remember, if you see a crime in progress then call the Police as soon as it is safe to do so.
