Energy theft is tampering with a meter or its connections, disrupting its ability to accurately record electricity usage. This not only jeopardises the safety of your property, it also poses a serious risk to life. Energy theft is a criminal offence and like other forms of theft, can result in prosecution and a criminal record.
