Outages began around 7 p.m. Saturday, and utility workers found evidence at multiple electric substations that "indicated intentional vandalism had occurred," Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said in a statement.
About 64% of Moore County's electric customers remained without power on Sunday morning in the largely rural area about 90 miles (145 km) east of Charlotte, according to tracking site poweroutage.us.
Jeff Brooks, a spokesperson for Duke Energy (DUK.N), told the media late Saturday that there was "no estimate on restoration time because a number of facilities are involved and the work will be complicated."
