Theft of lighting facilities will be severely sentenced - lighting, regulations


The reporter learned from the Suzhou City Lighting Management Office yesterday that last month, nearly 70,000 yuan was lost in the streetlights and landscape lighting facilities in the urban area of ​​Suzhou. However, this situation may improve as Suzhou first criminalizes the theft of urban lighting facilities as a crime of destroying electrical equipment.

The theft of urban lighting facilities has been rampant in recent years. According to statistics, in 2007,
Street Lights and landscape lighting facilities in the urban area of ​​Suzhou were stolen 790 times, with a loss of 2.85 million. Stealing a few lines, blackening a road, and stealing lighting facilities not only damaged the urban environment and image, but also brought great hidden dangers to road traffic safety and reduced the sense of public security. The relevant staff of the Urban Lighting Management Office said that the repair of stolen facilities is often more time-consuming and labor-intensive than the new installation, and thus poses a safety hazard.

Strengthening the building of the legal system is one of the effective means to curb the theft of urban lighting facilities. In the early morning of June 28 last year, the criminal suspect Yuan Mou and Xu Mou, Cui Mou had pre-planned, to the east side of the Huiji Bridge in Suzhou City, by Cui Moufeng, Yuan Mou, Xu used a vise to cut the wire. In the method, three normally used 55 m long overhead wires between the four lamp poles are cut and stolen, and the street lamps are not working properly. It has been identified that the value of the cut cable and the repair value totaled RMB 1,685. Recently, the People’s Court of Pingjiang District of Suzhou City officially made a verdict. Yuan’s behavior has constituted the crime of destroying electric equipment. However, he was under the age of 18 but was under 18 years of age and was sentenced to one year in prison. Probation for one year. This is the first case in Suzhou that criminalized the theft of lighting facilities and sentenced to power equipment. Prior to this, it was based on theft.

According to reports, an important reason for the phenomenon of theft is that the punishment is too light and it is difficult to form a deterrent. In the past, the police station generally handled the criminals captured. Now our neighboring cities such as Nanjing, Yangzhou and Jiangyin have begun to sentence criminals who have stolen lighting facilities to the crime of destroying electrical equipment. The crazy theft of lighting facilities has been initially contained.
