and

for helping get this message out. Copper theft is dangerous, costly and just not worth it. If you see something, say something.
Power companies are using high-tech cameras to catch copper thieves across Melbourne's western suburbs.
The offenders are digging up electricity pits, dangerously exposing live cables.
