A criminal has suffered horrific burns while stealing copper cabling from a electricity sub-station. The man broke into the sub-station was hit by 22,000 volt . This guy, James Sorby, is this badly disfigured that even his daughter didn’t recognise him. Copper theft have soared in the UK since the value of copper has increased. James admitted that he tried to steal the copper, but warns everybody not to do it. He says: "People think it's easy but they don't realise how stupid they are being. I've been through five months of agony.” James is given 12 months of community service, but also had to get five operations to reconstruct his face.
I have no sympathy for this man. There are many more people without money and they don’t steal for a living. This man shouldn’t break in to steal things. I feel sorry for his little daughter. She had nothing to do with it, but doesn’t recognise her dad anymore. I hope the guy has learned a lesson from all this: Don’t touch somebody else’s stuff.
