Warning over Salisbury copper cable theft
Thieves have risked death or serious injury by stealing copper cables from electricity substations in Wiltshire.
A police spokesman said fencing lights and CCTV cameras were damaged at the substation on Western Way in Salisbury before the theft on 2 March.
Later that afternoon, copper earthing straps were stolen from a building on Hatch Lane in the city.
A police spokeswoman asked people to report any suspicious activity near substations.
"It's not being too dramatic to say that there is a high possibility that you could be killed or seriously injured if you enter one of these sites," she said.
