Lured by soaring copper prices, increasing flights offenders Cable Railway: SNCF identified in 2100 between mid-2009 and mid-2010 almost three times more than 'two years ago. The bandits looted mostly warehouses and construction sites where the reels are stored. Since security was strengthened in 2008, they fell back on the cables placed on the network. Forcing the station to suspend the traffic, with consequences great for users. The flights have resulted in 5,800 hours late in 2010 and cost several million euros to the company. 48 helicopters with high-tech headlights overpowered and cameras can read license plates at 1000 meters will be available to the carrier at a rate of one hundred flight hours per year for all the fleet.
On land, the police will also lend a hand to general supervision, police internal station. The battle will be difficult. Monitor 3000 km of lines is an impossible mission. It is very easy to cut the fences that protect access to the tracks. And the rate of clarification of cases of metal theft is identical to that of burglary, that is to say very low, recognizes the central office to combat crime against the homeless. For their part, the SNCF and Réseau Ferré de France (RFF, which owns the tracks) are activated to improve safety. The new cables will be equipped with chips GSM (like laptops) that will locate them. Others will be buried, as on the future line LGV Rhin-Rhone. Finally, the two partners began to install on the network an ingenious burglar: hooks that cut the cable when pulled to limit the length of the catch. past two years, the rising price of copper prices reached 212.5%, from 3,200 dollars per tonne (2 400 euros) to just over 10,000 dollars (7,400 euros).
