The phenomenon of electricity theft has reached Greek proportions, as evidenced by the arrests that followed police investigations assisted by Δ.Ε.Δ.Δ.Η.Ε technicians. Another targeted operation was carried out on Tuesday morning in a village in the Kilkis region.
In the course of an investigation by police officers from the Piania Department and the OPKE, four people were arrested for the theft of electricity, since the officers of Δ.Ε.Δ.Δ.Η.Ε. discovered that thieves were illegally electrifying their homes with a 30-meter cable attached to a ΔΕH pole… with a homemade hook! The cable is disconnected and confiscated, and the perpetrators are taken to the District Attorney of Kilkis.

In another police operation in Aliartos settlement, Viotia district, four more people were arrested for stealing electricity. Cables were also confiscated, with the help of which unscrupulous citizens connected their homes to the power supply network. Techniques Δ.Ε.Δ.Δ.Η.Ε. started cutting off the illegal power supply, and the perpetrators were taken to the Livadia prosecutor’s office.
