A man has been arrested after environmental activists claimed responsibility for sabotage attacks on fiber optic cables outside major insurance companies in London.

The 29-year-old was arrested by City of London police after activists said they had cut the cables to insurance company offices in London, Leeds, Birmingham and Sheffield on Monday.

In a press release, the group, which calls itself “Shut the System”, said it had targeted insurers “due to their critical role underpinning the fossil fuel economy through underwriting contracts and investments”.

Unmitigated & Escalating New Risk

  • The episode will also address the significantly Micro and Macro impact this will have on the global economy as well as national economies.

The group circulated a photo it said showed an activist dressed as an electrical engineer reaching into a maintenance hole to cut cables next to 52 Lime Street, in the City of London financial district, where the insurance firms W/R/B Underwriting and Chaucer have offices.

Fiber optics were also targeted, according to the press release, at the insurance market at Lloyd’s of London, the Walkie Talkie building at 20 Fenchurch Street, which is the London base of seven big insurers, as well as the offices of Talbot AIG at 60 Threadneedle Street, Chubb at 100 Leadenhall Street, and AIG on Fenchurch Street. The offices of AIG in Birmingham, Markel in Sheffield and Axa in Leeds were also targeted, Shut the System said.

“If these powerful companies don’t make public statements that they will stop driving fossil fuel expansion and destroying life on Earth, then we have no choice but to stop them ourselves,” the group’s statement said. “We will not give up until insurance companies take responsible action.”

Lloyd’s of London did not respond to a request for comment, and the City of London police were understood to still be investigating which companies in its area had been affected.
