In Leeds, the broadband service was hindered when the thugs stole away the copper wires. This is the third time in two weeks time that such a stealing has happened disrupting the connectivity.

A UK-based company headquartered in New York has begun to repair the damages and is simultaneously taking help of local police in order to investigate the matter.

This surge in case of thefts is on a constant increase, report the Internet companies. They further state that they will leave no stone unturned in catching the vandals who have done this.

And in aid of this the UK-based company has urged the natives and said, "We would encourage any individuals with any information relating to this case to contact the police directly or call through on our confidential hotline."

This act of vandalism is getting worse day by day and has severely affected the service providers. It may cause a fortune for the service providers if they don't act upon it in the right time.
