A 28-year-old man died early this morning in Pueblo while trying to steal electrical wiring from a high voltage electrical box...

The man, Brian Repinski of Pueblo, was brought unconscious to Parkview Hospital suffering from high voltage burns.

Duran said interviews were conducted with associates of Repinski. They said the electrocution occurred on Greenhorn Drive while Repinski and an accomplice were attempting to steal the wiring.

Detectives are continuing their investigation to determine whether Repinski and his associates were involved in other recent thefts and burglaries.
