Verizon Offers $25K for Fiber Vandalism Leads | Los Angeles News

Verizon’s offering a $25,000 reward to catch the vandals who severed fiber cables in Southern California, causing massive internet and phone outages—acts that threaten public safety and emergency services. This isn’t new: over 6,000 similar attacks hit California in 2025 alone, costing $252 million. Verizon’s joining forces with others to combat this, even backing a new law requiring junk dealers to track metal sales to curb theft. This disruption hits hard—hope the reward deters future crimes and brings the culprits to justice. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
