A Metro Vancouver police agency is looking for potential assistance from the public in connection with an incident regarding an EV fast-charger station that took place at a rec complex.
The Port Moody Police Department said that multiple fast-chargers were damaged early Tuesday morning at the Port Moody Recreation Complex on Ioco Road.
On July 28, at around 1 a.m., officers were called to the complex by security. Security had reported that numerous EV charger cables had been cut after sensors alerted them to the damage.
“Officers attended the scene and noted 6 of the cables had been cut and subsequently stolen, rendering the fast-chargers inoperable,” Port Moody Police said in a release.
“We are in the evidence-gathering phase of this investigation, which includes canvassing for possible CCTV footage,” said Port Moody Police Constable Sam Zacharias in a statement, adding that “the chargers are currently out of commission as BC Hydro works to repair them.”
Port Moody Police is looking for any potential witnesses or other members of the public who might have information relating to the incident.
Daily Hive has also reached out to BC Hydro for more information and to ask if this kind of thing happens often with EV fast-charger stations in Metro Vancouver.
