A fourth Washington state electrical substation was found vandalized on Christmas after three others were attacked earlier in the day, leaving thousands without power, officials said.
After the latest act of vandalism, more than 10,500 Puget Sound Energy customers were without electricity across the region by 7 a.m. Monday, KOMO-TV reported.
The suspects broke into a fenced area and vandalized equipment at the substation, causing a fire, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office. Responders put out the fire and power was later restored, however no suspects are in custody, officials said.
Earlier Christmas Day, thousands of residents woke up with no power after three other substations were vandalized in the early morning hours.
The first substation was vandalized at about 5:30 a.
