Cable from MER power line stolen

Around 200m of copper overhead cable has been stolen from the Manx Electric Railway crossing near Baldrine. 

Power lines were taken down yesterday after being struck by a vehicle and were left overnight.

Police say the cable is believed to have been stolen from between the Liverpool Arms and Baldrine between 5:30pm yesterday and 8:30am this morning.

As a result, the MER will be unable to operate normal services and a special event has had to be cancelled.

If anyone knows where the cable is or something that would help the police, you're asked to call 631212 or email police@gov.im
