Two men have been arrested for allegedly attempting to break into a communications tower near Little Falls, Minnesota.

Morrison County Sheriff’s Office has named the two men as Travis Zaiser, 42, of Minneapolis, and Gabriel Smith, 40, of Delwood.

The two men are accused of burglary, following the incident on May 15.

In a report, the Sheriff's Office noted that at around 3:41 pm, an employee of Fallsnet, a local Internet Service Provider (ISP), notified the Sheriff's Office that two males were on camera attempting to break into the building at the tower site.

According to the Sheriff's Office, Zaiser and Smith were detained at the scene.

The deputies found evidence that the duo attempted to break into the site.

After being arrested, the two men were transported to Morrison County Jail, where they are being held pending formal charges.

There have been several incidents in recent months of people being arrested for trespassing on telecom tower sites.

Last week, a man in Florida was arrested after climbing a telecom tower, just a month after being arrested for doing the same thing.

In March, four men were arrested in West Boylston, Massachusetts, for allegedly stealing telecom cables to sell for scrap, while posing as T-Mobile contractors.

In January, suspected copper thieves toppled a 488-foot rod cell tower in Oklahoma, causing an estimated $500,000 in damage.

Elsewhere, a 36-year-old man faces more than 50 charges over the alleged theft of coaxial cable from cell towers across Buncombe County and Henderson County, North Carolina.
