On Saturday, January 25th, 2014, between 2:30 and 3:30 a.m.,the fenced-in NB Power substation in Harvey was broken into along Route 3, and copper wiring was stolen.
The theft caused an explosion that caused a number of homes in the area to lose power.
Sgt. Bob MacKnight tells Tide News it can not be over-emphasized how dangerous this illegal activity is -- that in the past -- has resulted in death.
If you have any information on the theft, please call local RCMP or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Crimestoppers will pay up to $2000 for information leading to an arrest.
