The case came to light several days ago while inspecting a house to which police had been called by employees of the gas utility. They were looking for the location of excessive gas consumption. When they wanted to inspect Jan K.’s house, he refused. He began behaving vulgarly. The gas workers called the police for help and entered the house together with them. There they found a metal installation supplying the house with gas while bypassing the meter.
“No one has yet been charged in this case,” Grzegorz Górski, spokesman for the Bolesławiec police, told Boleslawiec.org. Stealing gas is punishable by up to five years in prison.
