Posted: Updated:

RANDOLPH, Vt. (AP) - Vermont State Police are investigating the theft of copper grounding cable taken from three Green Mountain Power substations.

Police say a total of about 45 feet of ½-inch cable was reported stolen earlier this month from two utility substations in Randolph and one in Sharon.

Officials think the cables were cut with a large set of bolt cutters. When the cables were cut, it resulted in power outages in several neighborhoods in Sharon and Randolph.
