$154,000 Battery Theft at TSTT Telecom Tower

A major theft at a TSTT telecommunications tower in Palo Seco is under investigation after industrial batteries worth approximately $154,000 US disappeared. Essential for backup power and uninterrupted cellular service, the batteries were found missing during a routine check. The theft seems to have been executed by individuals familiar with the tower and its security setup. The batteries are a critical part of the national infrastructure, their removal risks service disruptions in surrounding communities. The investigators are figuring out how the thieves accessed the secured facility, as the weight and volume of the equipment stolen suggest careful planning and substantial transportation. TSTT is working with law enforcement to locate the missing batteries and identify the culprits. As the investigation continues, the incident has brought the vulnerability of critical infrastructure back into focus, leading to demands for enhanced security at remote utility and communication sites across the country.
