Copper thefts at BC Hydro’s underground lines surged to 24 incidents since Jan 2024, causing $1.2M in damages and posing severe safety risks.
BC Hydro reports a surge in copper thefts from underground electrical infrastructure, with 24 incidents since January 2024—up from five in the previous two years—mostly on Vancouver Island.
Thieves remove maintenance hole covers, cut live 200-meter cables, and haul them away using vehicles or winches, risking electrocution and causing $1.2 million in damages.
Open holes also pose fall hazards.
The utility warns the public of serious safety risks and urges reporting suspicious activity to 911 or BC Hydro’s security line.
