Over the past 18 months more than £500,000 worth of cable has been stolen from manholes, mostly in the west of Suffolk.

Manholes by the side of the road are opened up and the cabling is dragged out using a vehicle. The thieves will often wear fluorescent jackets to look like genuine workmen. The cabling is then pulled to an adjacent field and cut up so it can be transported away.

Cable stolen support public and essential phonelines for businesses and emergency services.
