HELP PREVENT
WIRE THEFT
From Street Lighting System
• •
The rise in wire thefts has led to long streetlight outages, impacts
to public safety, and expensive repairs. If you see a wire theft
happening or notice anything suspicious around
City streetlights, call 9-1-1 right away.
Be alert for suspicious activity - even during the day:
• Thieves might use vans that look official and wear orange construction vests to blend in.
Real work crews use white service vehicles with the Tukwila Seal on the doors, special (XMT)
license plates, and flashing lights.
• Thieves may dig around grassy areas near streetlights to find a covered junction box. To cover up their
actions, they might drop items like bicycles or cones on top of the box,
• They might also break into the box and cut the wires to create darkness, so they can come back later
that night to steal the wires.
• After sunset, thieves are likely to return and finish the theft.
• They could pull the wire by hand or attach it to a vehicle or bike for quick removal.
• Often, the stolen wire is stuffed into a backpack.
