Canterbury Police are concerned the message is not getting through to individuals seen tampering with power lines and boxes in Christchurch.
In April, Police received a number of reports about suspicious activity around power lines in Canterbury, including tampering with power line cabling and boxes predominantly in the red zone area.
On Monday 30 October, Police were notified of two individuals seen tampering with the Orion network in the Woolston area.
“This behaviour is dangerous and has the potential to impact households living in the area,” Says Senior Sergeant Roy Appley.
Police urge residents to ring 111 immediately if you see anyone acting suspiciously around power poles and lines.
