"I’d urge offenders to think twice before something tragic happens. There have previously been deaths in the country from people who have tried to steal cable of some description and been killed by an electrical current."

Anyone with information about the incidents is urged to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 498 of 27 June 2019.
