In Kaliningrad, a resident of an apartment building paid 27 thousand rubles for the illegal use of electricity. The man attached a magnet to the meter to pay less for the light, reported in “Rosseti Yantar Energosbyt”.

Due to interference in the operation of the device, part of the cost of electricity was distributed among neighbors and fell into the payment for household needs.
