MAPLE RIDGE (NEWS1130) - Telus has restored service to about 500 customers after two more cable thefts, this time in Maple Ridge and Mission. Crews worked through the night after thieves left homes and businesses without phone, 911, and Internet service.
The Mission theft happened in a rural area near 114th and Dewdney Trunk Road, while the other was near 256th and Dewdney.
In both instances, thieves stole about 60 metres of cable off poles in the dark of night. Anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in those areas is asked to contact police.
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
