Ms De Clercq said the live wire voltage was "enough to kill" and the thieves must have acted "very carefully".
What sort of voltage are we talking here?.
I would imagine it is in the kV range.
For thieves to get away without burns or the like would suggest an inside job, perhaps the thieves were wearing insulated gloves or had experience in untying the conductors from the insulators.
This sounds rather dodgy.
