Video shows the residents of Huntington Park, the copper wire thieves stop

Theft tried in Huntington Park was so striking that he attracted several neighbors' attention.

What we know:

Video caught a man on telephone lines, trying to grab the wires while a accomplice was on the floor.

The neighbors then confronted the men and tried to prevent them from taking the wires that had the length of a few street blocks.

In the video you can hear how one of the good Samaritan tells you in Spanish that you should get a job.

What you say:

“I see people what they are doing and it wasn't right. I felt that I did something about it, my family and the community had to protect,” the good Samaritan told Fox 11.

The good Samaritan did not want to be identified, but said he was outraged by what he saw. He said Fox 11 that he worked hard for his money and did not understand why the men would not do the same in the video.

“You can pick up doses or plastic. People can do it better,” he added.

He said because they confronted the potential thieves, no wires were stolen.

However, you have struck AT & T services to the region. The incident occurred on Sunday in Marbrisa and Saturn Avenue.

Crews who work on the restoration of services say that criminals are after the precious copper inside.

Neighbors say that they are grateful that the good Samaritans could stop the suspects.
