“Vehicles are used to intentionally ram the light poles, and then the entire pole is stolen by the suspects,” she said. The recent incidents are part of a trend that initially started with stealing copper wire, which prompted collaboration between Pasadena officials and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to offer rewards for catching the thieves.
