Police are warning Bodmin residents of the dangers of tampering with gas and electricity meters.
Officers believe the criminal offence is widespread within the town. They discovered people fiddling their meters at two homes last night.
PC Robin Riches said officers accompanied Western Power staff to two addresses in Wallace Road.
He said: " Both had been tampered with and the meter had been bypassed. Damage had been caused to the meters and they were in a dangerous condition.
