A #burglar has been sentenced to #prison for impersonating #UKPowerNetworks staff in #Kent SE #England and stealing #copper #cable and other #metal - putting many places off supply and causing extremely dangerous and unpleasant situations (removing protective earth cable can cause a rising neutral and phase imbalance, which results in almost 400V appearing in places where only 230V is expected)

I know its strict legal term #Police and #CPS have to use for the #criminal charges , but I personally wouldn't class this #dog owned by a #burglar as "dangerously out of control".

It is clearly use of this unfortunate hound as a trained weapon to attack anyone who tries to challenge him stealing from peoples houses (I hope doggo is seized and taken to rescue centre and rehomed if suitable)
