WASHINGTON — The FBI is investigating another power substation in North Carolina that was damaged by gunfire, the third such facility to be targeted in the state since early December.
The latest incident occurred about 3 a.m. Tuesday in Thomasville, located in central North Carolina, according to the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office, which said the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is conducting a parallel investigation. Damage was discovered and evidence was recovered at the scene, the sheriff’s office said.
Authorities found “14 or 15” holes where projectiles entered equipment, said Amanda Varner, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office, who didn’t specify what kind of equipment was damaged.
