NC substation sabotage: FBI investigating whether Randolph, Moore county power grid attacks are related
Fox News
The FBI said it's "too early" to connect substation attacks that occurred more than a month apart in North Carolina's Randolph and Moore counties, as an ex-DHS official shares theories.
On Tuesday morning, EnergyUnited officials responded to an alarm that notified personnel of an equipment issue at its Pleasant Hill Substation in Thomasville, N.C.

Crews found the substation transformer was damaged by gunshots and alerted law enforcement. The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and suspect the attack occurred around 3 a.m. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force responded to conduct a parallel investigation.
