Also doesn’t say what crime they were charged with. Just that they were “near” a power plant.

If you want to steal copper, a power plant is a gold mine ... er, I mean copper mine, of copper wiring and copper connectors.

Yes, but you cut the wrong copper wire under the wrong conditions, and you could be electrocuted. Even a "ground" wire, when cut and an unbalance is in the system, can carry hundreds of amps.
