For the residents of a tiny village in Cambridgeshire, Thursdays have become a day to dread as thieves descend under the cover of darkness to steal copper phone lines, leaving hundreds of homes disconnected.

BT workers spend days replacing stolen cable, only for the criminals to return a few weeks later, almost always – and for reasons that remain a mystery – on a Thursday night.
