Man Wanted for Cutting Phone and Internet Cables at Richmond Law Firm

February 12, 2020

We talk about physical security a lot – but here's an example where a small law firm doesn't control the physical security of its phone and internet cables.

ABC News (9) from Richmond reports that Richmond Police are looking for a man accused of repeatedly and intentionally cutting the phone and internet cables at a private law firm.

Security video (included with the report) shows the suspect outside Tavenner & Beran, PLC, located at 20 N 8th Street, on February 1 at approximately 6:08 p.m. This was the most recent of five suspected incidents, police said in a release.

Detectives believe during the first incident on January 13, the suspect opened the electrical box and cut all the wires inside. After a lock was installed, he proceeded to cut all the wires to the electrical box on January 15, 18, 21 and February 1.

If they get their man, it will be interesting to see what his motivation was.
