Rowan authorities say someone stole batteries from a T-Mobile cell tower site located at 615 Flint School Road sometime Friday. It’s the second telephone company that reported battery theft within the last week.
An employee reported the incident after finding four deep cycle batteries missing. Officials valued the batteries at $1,138.
About seven days ago, AT&T reported someone took the same type batteries from three different locations.
Authorities say it appeared someone used some type of tool to pry open the battery cabinet and take the batteries.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office at 704-216-8700 or Crime Stoppers at 1-866-639-5245.
