The carabinieri of S. Stefano di Camastra arrested a 47 -year -old, already known to the police, on charges of aggravated theft of electricity. The operation is part of the services to combat the widespread illegality conducted in the area.
During a check in a farm owned by the man, the military noticed suspicious electrical cables to escape from a counter. The intervention of specialized technicians then confirmed the existence of an abusive connection made through bypass, which would have allowed the illegal withdrawal of energy for about five years, causing estimated damage to over 8,000 euros.
The 47 -year -old was arrested and the judicial authority validated the provision at the Court of Catania.
