Section 76

If any person wilfully removes, destroys or damages any property belonging to the Board or hinders or prevents such property from being used or operated in the manner in which it is intended to be used or operated, he shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $5,000.

Notwithstanding subsection (1), any person who damages or suffers to be damaged any electricity cable belonging to or under the management or control of the Board shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $200,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or to both.

Where an offence under subsection (2) is committed by any person acting as the agent or servant of another person, or being otherwise subject to the supervision or instructions of another person for the purposes of any employment in the course of which the offence was committed, that other person shall, without prejudice to the liability of the first-mentioned person, be liable under that subsection in the same manner and to the same extent as if he had personally committed the offence unless and until he shows to the satisfaction of the court that the offence was committed without his consent or connivance or that it was not attributable to any neglect on his part.

Any person may apprehend any other person if the other person within his view commits an offence under this section and shall, on such apprehension without unreasonable delay, hand over the person so apprehended to a police officer.
