FactCheck: Why copper theft is the perfect crime
Metal theft has caused at least six deaths, 50 injuries, 60 fires and – a contender for stat of the year here – a total of 673 days of train delays in the last three years. But unless personally blighted by it – as Jon Snow was over the weekend – you’d be forgiven for being oblivious to the problem. Graham Jones, MP for Hyndburn in Lancashire, says it was the “constant concerns” of his wife and son – who both work for Electricity North West – that brought it to his attention. He is not alone in calling for a reform of the Metal Theft Act of 1964, which was slammed in the Lords last month for being “still legally in the age of Steptoe and Son”. But are we really dealing with a cable crime wave or has Mr Jones got his wires crossed? FactCheck dons its hard hat.
