00:00I'm now declaring an immediate search, okay?
00:02A 38-year-old Queensland man has been charged
00:05after allegedly stealing copper wiring
00:07from a power substation west of Brisbane.
00:10I reasonably suspect that you've recently stolen copper wiring.
00:13Detectives searched a property in Goodner,
00:16discovering stolen copper wiring alongside tools
00:19believed to have been used in the offence.
00:21The 38-year-old man was charged with multiple offences,
00:24including possessing suspected stolen property and dangerous drugs.
00:28Copper has become an increasingly attractive target for thieves
00:32due to its rising scrap value,
00:34with criminals targeting power infrastructure,
00:37construction sites and even electric vehicle charging stations
00:40across Australia.
