Metal Thieves Disguised as Utility Workers Cause $45K Damage to Houston Business

A local northwest Houston business is facing a hefty repair bill after three metal thieves disguised as utility workers targeted their property. The suspects, who wore high-visibility vests to blend in, managed to bypass security measures and disable external infrastructure to steal copper and other valuable materials.

Significant Damage Reported

According to reports from the business owner, the thieves cut main power cables and dismantled crucial machinery, leading to over $45,000 in direct damages and operational downtime. The Houston Police Department is analyzing surveillance footage that captured the suspects in the act.

Authorities urge local commercial property managers to verify the credentials of any unscheduled utility workers performing work on their premises, especially during off-peak hours.
