The loss of almost all telecommunication service in Listowel and surrounding areas last night has become an OPP investigation.
Police report that someone crossed a grassy ditch near the intersection of Highway 23 and Line 87, just east of the Listowel Christian School property, and cut a fibre optic cable.
That resulted in the loss of telephone, internet and T-V service in and around Listowel for several hours until repairs could be made.
Perth County OPP are asking anyone who have seen a parked vehicle or a suspicious person near the intersection of Highway 23 and Line 87, north of Listowel around 7:30 last night to give them a call.
