Substation Attacks Continue, Leaving People Without Power Over Christmas
Four electricity substations in the Tacoma, Washington, area were attacked Sunday, affecting thousands of customers, authorities said.
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department described the early morning attacks on two Tacoma Public Utilities substations and a Puget Sound Energy facility as acts of vandalism, with those responsible unidentified.
“It is unknown if there are any motives or if this was a coordinated attack on the power systems,” the sheriff’s department said in a statement.
