Three men arrested by transport police over railway cables theft

GOOLE: Police have arrested three people on suspicion of theft after railway cables were stolen.

The men, aged 42, 32 and 30 from the Doncaster area, were arrested after 6ft of cable was found cut near to Albert Street at 11.35pm on Sunday.

A vehicle was also seized by officers. All three men currently remain in custody.

Detective Chief Inspector Derek O'Mara, of the British Transport Police, said: "There is a common assumption that cable theft is a victimless crime, with the only effects being felt by the railway industry. This is not the case.

"Theft of cable can, and does, cause significant delays and cancellations to the rail industry – as well as costing the industry millions of pounds each year."
