Police offer reward for information in string of cable cuts in Kansas City area
Police are offering up to a $12,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in a string of fiber-optic cable cuts in Kansas City and Raytown that have cut off communications services for customers and businesses.

Police ask anyone with information to call the anonymous TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477. Tips can also be submitted online at www.KCcrimestoppers.com or through the P3TIPS app.
A reward of $2,000 plus an additional $10,000 award is available for information leading to an arrest in these cases.
