LIME, Jamaica’s only full service telecoms provider, is again being plagued by cable theft and the company has spent more than $35 million in the last five months to replace transmissions cables which have been stolen.
LIME’s customers in several communities have been left without service as thieves vandalize and pilfer the company’s cables to reap copper presumably to sell to scrap metal dealers. Between May and September, 49 incidents of cable theft have occurred affecting customers in St. Ann, St. Catherine, St. Mary, St. James and St. Thomas.
