Power supply lines disrupted in Bruckdorf due to cutting of eleven power cables

In the city of Halle, Germany, a series of unusual incidents have been reported, involving the theft of e-car charging cables and a warehouse heist.

Last week, thieves targeted charging pillars at various locations, including those at Globus and the former Hellweg Baumarkt. It is believed that the cables were cut off during these incidents. The EnBW app showed the charging pillars at REWE in Damaschkestraße as faulty today. Another similar incident was reported a week ago in Dieselstraße, affecting at least three charging stations with six cables.

A more audacious act was the theft of six brass fountain nozzles from a fountain in front of a gate, secured with 4 M10 bolts each. One commenter reported seeing a man stripping off thick cables and putting the copper core into a white van, which they reported to the police.

The issue of e-car charging cable theft is a concern not only for individual owners but also for charging station operators, particularly in areas with a higher density of fast chargers. Some commenters on a news article discussed the potential for damage or theft while cars are charging unattended.

Organized crime was suspected in a similar incident two weeks ago when a complete warehouse in Leipzig was cleaned out, causing damage over half a million euros. A similar incident involving the theft of pipes from the Auenschule was previously reported in the news.

The video recordings from the warehouse theft were deemed useless due to poor visibility. The penalties for theft are considered laughable, but the damage each time is huge. One commenter suggested that laws should be changed to require ID and photographing of copper when sold to scrap dealers.

Meanwhile, in the political sphere, the right-wing party AfD doubled its result to 39% in a poll one year before the state election in Saxony-Anhalt, while the CDU dropped to 27 percent.

However, there are no specific search results identifying an organization responsible for damaging or stealing charging stations near Halle. No information about such an event or responsible group is found in the provided results.

In a bizarre turn of events, a truck in Steinweg drove backwards into a tram, causing unknown damage.

For more information on the topic of charging cable theft, an informative article from EnBW is available. It is crucial for authorities and the public to address this issue to ensure the safety and convenience of e-car charging infrastructure.
