My husband and I live at 1121 N. Tinkle in Crystal Beach and we were just stopped by 2 crews from Entergy who asked us if we had seen any pole trucks working on our street lately. We had, just yesterday evening at dusk and they came and did work right at dark at the end of the street. They said that there has been a rash of stealing of copper wire and that they have been having to come and repair the damage that these guys are doing. The thieves have been legitimately contracted to take down old cable wire, but they are taking much more than that and leaving some properties without electricity. We asked what we could do if we saw them and he (sorry, don’t know his name) said to call the police. People should be on the lookout for them, contact Entergy if you see them. Also, he told me that Alvin Sullivan in High Island is an Entergy employee who travels around the peninsula looking for such problems. Thanks for being here! (R. Marshall, 11-28-12)
