  • Today we take a look around Western Power Distribution, 20 Sunningdale Rd, Leicester LE3 1TZ.
    We notice the increased security since our last visit so we take a closer look.
    A member of staff inform us of the reason as he leaves and has a laugh about the lack of free charging for staff vehicles.
    We then take the drone up for a final shot from the sky.
    Enjoy!
    Thanks to @Carl & Alison Positive Audio Liverpool who donated the drone music for this video. To listen to the Music & Drone Footage only, see this Playlist - • DJ Audits / D.a.v.i.d....

    The red hv cables contain a lot of copper as do transformers in the windings. I used to work for sse, we had a spate of transformers being pushed over and drained then pikeys put kids inside live transformers to recover the copper windings. They also used to steal copper earthing, hv cable and generator cables until they changed the law on scrap. My job was asset protection I used to do sting operations with the police at scrap metal merchants. They introduced smart water systems and anti theft paint which also helped curb thefts.

      I once worked for SSE too, we discovered a transformer on its side at a disused site - who ever did this had some knowledge as they had switched off the HV fuse switch feeding the transformer to allow them to steal the copper core..
      An audit was quickly done to discover what assets where still live on other disused sites....

    I worked for another electricity distribution company which suffered thefts - depots are targets for - Copper, vehicals, generators, cables, diggers, trailers, hand tools, most of the gear you film was RN2c ringmain units, a bunch of pole mounted transformers and some unit sub/package units.
    You flew over an area which had a green floor, this is a bunded area to store oil filled equipment with the aim to capture any leakage of oil prevbenting it seeping into the surrounding area - not all depot are in towns. Give them a +1 for good house keeping.

      or maybe not - as others have said the sites will have CC TV installed, in my time before entering site - with the keycode - out of hours you would call the control room to inform them you are going in and for how long. If you didn't the Alarms went off, you locked out with keycode upon leaving - and you called the control room confirming you had left. if you didn't they call you..

    Hello Dj I thought I would share a bit of really interesting information with you. There’s a reason why when auditors film police station car parks they get a very strong reaction. It’s because you can obtain personal information about a person from there number plates and the police know this. People always believe it’s a no no but go about it correctly and DVLA will send it to you . A lady went right down the side of my new Mercedes’ Vito with a shopping trolly so I took pictures and put a note in her window. She then sneaked into the car and raced off when my back was turned but still had the note. I vowed then I would find her and she would pay. After months hunting for her car and not being successful I then filled in a V888 form and DVLA sent me her address. I couldn’t believe it. She was a rich GP with a very influential husband. I sent a very strong letter to them and the husband turned up at my gates fully apologising and paid for the complete respray of the side of my van.

    • @AndersMcTee
