A digger stolen in Perth was used to drill hole in the ground, damaging fibre optic cables.
A parked mechanical digger was used to drill holes in an area of waste ground between McDonald’s and the Travel Lodge at Broxden between 11pm and 11.10pm on Sunday.
Use of the digger, which was originally parked nearby, has reportedly caused extensive damage to a length of buried fibre optic cable.
The digger was used between McDonald’s and the Travel Lodge at Broxden, Perth.
The damage resulted in service outages in the area which police say cost thousands of pounds to repair.
The stolen digger was then returned to where it was found.
Police have issued an appeal to the public for anyone who may have been in the area at the time.
