Police have recovered some of the wire from an AT&T theft over the weekend, but are still searching for thousands of feet of wire. Winchester Police Capt. James Hall said someone cut through the fence at an AT&T facility, broke into several trucks on site and took approximately 6,000 feet of wire. Hall said the thieves took six large spools, each with 1,000 feet of wire, and several smaller spools of other wire.
