A reckless vandal who broke into a Salford substation and caused a power outage to more than 200 homes and businesses is 'lucky to be alive', according to engineers. Electricity Northwest say the intruder 'diced with death' after they illegally entered the substation on Fitzwarren Street, which operates at 6,600 volts.
During the incident, the culprit stole metal worth just £2 and caused a power cut and surge in the area which left more than £40,000 worth of damage.
Vincent Cranny, Electricity North West’s area manager for Greater Manchester, said: “Firstly, I want to start by thanking the residents of Salford for their understanding during what has been an extremely difficult time.

“This is a very serious incident, substations contain extremely powerful electrical assets, they aren’t buildings anybody should be entering and the culprit in this case is lucky to be alive.
“The theft of the assets has caused some of the most damage we’ve seen caused by vandalism. We have yellow danger of death signs on our equipment for a reason, it’s vital people take note and stay away.”
Engineers have confirmed the culprit first vaulted the metal gates surrounding the substation before using an angle grinder to break through the lock on the doors. The theft and damage caused within the substation caused a power surge which led to customers suffering damage to boilers, televisions, washing machines and other white goods.
Electricity North West have been door-to-door to ensure every property’s electricity supply was safe before restoring power and has a dedicated team on site helping residents by making repairs to their damaged equipment.
