Deputies from the Perris Sheriff’s Station responded to a report of grand theft on July 15, 2025, after fiber optic and internet cables were damaged and stolen near Nuevo Road and Pico Avenue. The incident led to internet outages for local residents and several public safety facilities. The estimated financial impact of the theft and related damage was about $25,000.
