According to ChainCatcher and Cointelegraph, law enforcement agencies in the Buryat Republic of the Russian Federation discovered illegal cryptocurrency mining activities hidden inside a Kamaz truck during a routine power line inspection in the Baikal Lake region. The truck was drawing power from a 10 kV line and contained 95 mining devices and a mobile transformer station. However, two suspects fled the scene in an SUV before the police arrived. Buryat Energy, a subsidiary of the Siberian Power Company, stated that six cases of electricity theft related to cryptocurrency mining have occurred since the beginning of this year.
