Police say they're investigating an increase in thefts targeting Telus communication lines in the Abbotsford area.

A statement from Abbotsford police says the thefts have interrupted 9-1-1 service and resulted in 100-thousand-dollars' worth of damage.

Police are asking for the public's help in providing dash-camera footage related to the two most recent thefts.

They're asking anyone who was driving along McCallum Road near Vye Road on October 17th between 5 and 7:30 a-m or along Sumas Mountain Road near McKee Road on October 23rd around the same time to call them.
