Hundreds of people were left without their landline phone service for
nearly 48 hours after thieves stole 1km (0.6 mile) of copper cabling.

Sussex Police said the 6in to 8in cable was cut and removed from the
area near Drusilla's roundabout in Alfriston in the early hours of
Wednesday.

BT said telephone services to up 800 homes and businesses in Berwick
were restored on Thursday evening.

The estimated cost of repairing and replacing the cable was £45,000.

Officers believe thieves posing as workers wearing uniforms or
high-visibility jackets used a vehicle to pull the cable out of the
ground and take it away.
