QNEWS BROADCAST OCTOBER 5 2008
Theft of copper wire, Richlands:
Police are investigating the theft of 'live' copperwire from a street
in Richlands which had the potential to cause fatal injuries to those
involved or members of the public.
Sometime between 5pm on September 26 and 8am October 2 thieves removed
electrical cabling and wiring from a housing estate in Archerfield Road,
Richlands. Approximately 100 metres of 'live' copperwire was stolen from three
electrical pillars, with another two pillars sustaining damage. Energex attended
the scene and located exposed live wiring inside one pillar, which had the
potential to deliver a fatal electric current should it have been mishandled.
Burn marks located inside one of the pillars indicated that the thieves were
lucky to have escaped unscathed. Anyone with information which could assist
police with their investigations should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000
