As we previously reported, unknown perpetrators in Apenrade recently stole power cables on a large scale by pulling the plugs out of the shore sockets and cutting the power cables on the boat side.
In Juelsminde and Haderslev, the harbour operators are now using video surveillance to counter this activity. Here too, a total of around 100 cables were stolen.
Concern about break-ins in marinas
"Our concern is not just that the thieves are stealing cables that have no significant value in themselves. If they break into the boats and steal other things or there is vandalism, it has far greater economic consequences. That's why we're taking the step of monitoring," Knud Madsen, harbour manager in Juelsminde, told Danish media representatives.
In the meantime, shore power cables have also been stolen from the marinas in Kolding, Aabenraa and Brejning.
