A large-scale electricity theft mining case was uncovered in Buryatia, with 95 mining rigs hidden in a modified truck.

According to Gate News bot and Cointelegraph, law enforcement in the Republic of Buryatia, Russia, discovered a large-scale electricity theft for mining in the Baikal region. Officers seized a modified KamAZ truck equipped with 95 crypto mining rigs and a mobile transformer, illegally connected to a 10 kV power line. The amount of electricity stolen by the mining farm is equivalent to the power consumption of a small village.

According to local grid operator Rosseti Siberia, this is the sixth case of electricity theft from a mine in Buryatia this year. At the scene of the crime, the two suspects fled in an SUV. A large number of illegal power connections have led to voltage dips and overloads in regional power grids, and increased the probability of power outages.
