People and businesses were left without phone, internet and TV services after vandals targeted underground cables in west Kent.

Now crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers and Openreach, the digital infrastructure company are offering a reward of up to £1,000 for information about that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the attacks.
