The local police press service <a href=\"https:\/\/27.\u043c\u0432\u0434.\u0440\u0444\/news\/item\/28031155\/\">said<\/a> this.<\/p>\n<p>According to case materials, in March 2021 a representative of one of the energy-supply companies contacted the police with a report of property damage in a particularly large amount.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities established that a 32-year-old resident of Khabarovsk created a mining farm on the premises of a timber-processing plant. He installed an additional automatic circuit breaker in the transformer substation, which, according to investigators, enabled him to use significant quantities of electricity bypassing metering devices.<\/p>\n<p>The farm operated for three months. During this time, the damage from its activities exceeded 2.75 million rubles.<\/p>\n<p>During a search, police seized about 220 ASIC miners belonging to the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>The defendant has now fully reimbursed the energy company for the damages.
