Wednesday, July 12th 2023, 6:17 pm
TULSA, Okla. -
Thieves are the reason thousands of people in Tulsa were out of power for several hours Tuesday night, according to PSO.
PSO said power went down because thieves stole copper from a substation. ... That theft and the resulting on and off power outages made for an annoying evening for people and businesses.
People in midtown said they’ve dealt with enough power outages in the past few weeks, and the issues Tuesday night were even more frustrating.

PSO is offering a reward of up to a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of these or any copper thieves. Their copper theft hotline number is 888-747-5845.
