The City of Pasadena is experiencing theft of wiring from electrical pull boxes located in the City’s right of way.
According to a city statement the thefts are occurring in the evening hours and in different areas of the City, and generally by individuals without proper traffic control, uniforms and identification on vehicles.
The wires are used to provide power to the City’s street light circuit. The theft of these wires causes numerous street lights within a City block to go out leaving the street dark plus it’s extremely dangerous for the thieves.
The City is encouraging residents to report street light outages promptly and to be aware of unauthorized individuals that appear to be working around street lights or pull boxes.
