Copper Theft Disrupts Trains, Cops Arrest Suspect | Auckland News
Description
A 54-year-old man was arrested for stealing copper cable from train tracks, accidentally triggering a safety system shutdown that caused major delays. Police nabbed him in Porirua after months of investigation; he now faces endangering transport charges — same as a 43-year-old already charged for the same incident last month. KiwiRail warns such acts put lives at risk and disrupt communities, while police and rail authorities vow to keep cracking down. His court date is September 2nd — a stark reminder that tampering with trains isn’t worth the danger or the chaos.
