Help Curb Copper Wiring and Street Sign Thefts

There’s been a spate of strange thefts in Culver City recently. Copper wiring has been stolen for City street lights and there’s been an uptick in street sign thefts.

The Public Works Department is asking the public to help by reporting damage to or theft of City infrastructure including street lights, street name signs, traffic signs, City-owned facilities, traffic signals and parkway and median trees.  

All Public Works Department vehicles are clearly marked with “Culver City” identification on the sides of the vehicles and all employees are dressed in official City-issued uniforms unless they are contractors hired by the City for special projects.

To report any damage to City infrastructure or assets or to report suspicious activity, please contact the Culver City Police Department at (310) 837-1221 (non-emergency phone number) or the Public Works Department’s Maintenance Operations Division at (310) 253-6420.
