PULASKI COUNTY, Ky. (LEX NEWS) — The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help identifying suspects involved in the theft of mobile communications towers and wiring.

Deputies have responded to several cellular tower locations where thefts occurred, or received complaints that telephone wiring was taken, damaged or destroyed.
