The police arrested eight suspects. Six were charged. All of them were fined and imprisoned for up to eight months.

According to police, the theft of electricity has taken on such proportions that this year alone, as a result of illegal connections to the electricity grid in violation of the rules, three houses have already burned down.

It remains to add that the destroyed equipment is estimated at $ 1.26 million. Or, it would be more correct to say, it was estimated.
