NEW YORK — As the FBI offered up to $50,000 in new rewards for information on those responsible for sabotaging three North Carolina power plants in December and January, the sheriff in the county where two of the shooting attacks occurred accused a local utility company of stonewalling investigators.
The two separate $25,000 rewards for information leading to the identification, arrests and prosecution of a suspect or suspects in the power substation attacks in Moore and Randolph counties was announced on Wednesday by the FBI, and came on top of $75,000 announced last last year by North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper in the unsolved Moore county incidents.
Just three days before the Moore County attacks, the Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin warning"lone offenders and small groups" could be plotting attacks and that the nation's critical infrastructure was among the possible targets.
In response to the sheriff's statement, Duke Energy said that seeking court orders for personnel records is a standard practice and mandated by law in some cases. A Homeland Security bulletin issued on Nov. 30 advised that individuals and groups motivated by a range of ideological beliefs and personal grievances"continue to pose a persistent and lethal threat to the Homeland."
