Verizon Central Office Heist Spoiled By 911 Outage

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-exactly-ocean's-11-here dept.

Qbans writes with a link the NYTimes story on a foiled robbery attempt at a Verizon Central Office in White Plains, New York, snipping "The plan seemed simple enough. The building had been cased and the burglars knew exactly what they wanted - advanced computer circuit panels that could be sold on the black market for hundreds of thousands of dollars." Qbans points out that this story parallels a previous story on how equipment was (successfully) stolen last May.

    It was burglarized in August 2003, and similar robberies occurred this year at telephone facilities in New York City and New Jersey.
