Spectrum said someone intentionally cut their fiber optic lines, causing a temporary outage for people in Los Angeles and Ventura.

Internet and cable provider Spectrum has reported outages in Los Angeles “caused by a criminal act of vandalism,” according to a company post on X.

Spectrum officials blamed vandalism for recent outages that have affected parts of Ventura and Los Angeles counties. Fiber optic lines were intentionally cut in the Van Nuys area early on June 15, according to the cable TV, internet and phone service provider. The downed lines then caused temporary outages for residents and businesses.
