Telus phone cable stolen

Police say between Nov. 5 and 7, 100 metres of Telus phone cable was stolen on Township Road 442 between Range Roads 255 and 260 (northwest of Ponoka).

It appears the suspects attempted to take more cable several times during that time period but were unsuccessful, and in the process damaged more cable that was left at the location, say police.
