Cable thieves target Sønderborg

Copper prices of DKK40 per kg have encouraged thieves to steal overhead power cables at the recently reopened Sønderborg station - even though they are electrified at 25kV.

Although such cable theft is not unknown in other European countries it remains comparatively rare in Denmark. Banedanmark believes the stolen cable may be being sold abroad and is appealing for witnesses.
