People broke power poles in Australia and train signs in Canada.

有人在澳洲破壞電線桿，在加拿大破壞鐵路標誌。

In Australia, people cut four big power poles. They used strong tools to cut the poles. One person stole copper. Now the power lines are dangerous. People can get hurt.

在澳洲，有人砍斷了四根巨大的電線桿。他們使用強力的工具來砍斷電線桿。有人盜竊了銅材。現在電線非常危險，人們可能會因此受傷。

In Canada, people stole copper from train crossings. They did this in June. They broke the safety signs. Now drivers cannot see the warnings. This can cause train accidents.

在加拿大，有人在鐵路平交道盜竊銅材。他們是在六月進行的。他們損壞了安全標誌。現在駕駛者無法看到警告，這可能會導致火車事故。

Police in both countries want help. They want videos from the public. They also want to talk to people who buy old metal.

兩國警方都希望獲得協助。他們希望公眾提供影片。他們也想與購買舊金屬的人接觸。

Police are working to find these people and keep everyone safe.

警方正努力尋找這些人，以確保每個人的安全。

Recent reports have highlighted several cases of targeted vandalism and theft affecting essential electrical and railway systems in two different parts of the world.

近期報告指出，全球兩個不同地區發生了數起針對重要電力與鐵路系統的蓄意破壞與盜竊案件。

In northern Adelaide, SA Power Networks reported that four concrete utility poles were intentionally damaged. The attackers used industrial tools, such as angle grinders, to cut through the bases of these heavy structures. While a transformer in Concordia was stripped of copper, no materials were stolen from the other three poles; consequently, the exact motive for these attacks is still unclear. Authorities emphasized that the exposed high-voltage lines are extremely dangerous, as people could be electrocuted just by being close to them.

在阿德萊德北部，SA Power Networks 報告有四根混凝土電線桿遭到蓄意破壞。攻擊者使用了工業工具（例如角磨機）切斷這些沉重結構的底座。雖然康科迪亞的一個變壓器被盜走銅材，但其他三根電線桿並無物料被盜；因此，這些攻擊的確切動機仍不清楚。當局強調，暴露的高壓電線極其危險，人們僅僅靠近就可能觸電。

Meanwhile, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Nova Scotia are investigating a series of break-ins at railway crossings that took place between June 10 and June 22. The RCMP asserted that these were deliberate attempts to steal copper from electrical systems, which led to the damage of safety signs. This is a serious concern because it could cause the driver warning systems to fail, thereby increasing the risk of train accidents. In both regions, officials have asked the public for surveillance footage and are working with scrap metal dealers to find the criminals.

同時，新斯科舍省的加拿大皇家騎警（RCMP）正在調查 6 月 10 日至 6 月 22 日期間發生的一系列鐵路平交道闖入事件。RCMP 主張這是蓄意從電力系統盜取銅材，導致安全標誌受損。這是一個嚴重的問題，因為它可能導致駕駛員警告系統失效，從而增加火車事故的風險。在兩個地區，官員均要求公眾提供監視錄像，並正與廢金屬商合作尋找罪犯。

Authorities in both countries are continuing their investigations to stop these attacks and reduce the risks to public safety.

兩國當局正持續調查，以阻止這些攻擊並降低對公共安全的風險。

Recent incidents of targeted vandalism and theft involving critical electrical and railway infrastructure have been documented in two distinct geographic regions.

近期在兩個不同的地理區域中，記錄到發生了針對關鍵電力與鐵路基礎設施的蓄意破壞與盜竊事件。

In northern Adelaide, SA Power Networks has reported the systematic compromise of four concrete utility poles. The methodology employed involved the utilization of industrial cutting equipment, such as angle grinders, to sever the bases of these two-tonne structures. While a transformer in Concordia was stripped of copper, the absence of such materials in three other instances suggests that the primary motivation remains undetermined. The resulting exposure of high-voltage lines has created a condition where electrocution could occur via proximity, independent of physical contact.

在阿德萊德北部，SA Power Networks 報告有四根混凝土電線桿遭到系統性破壞。其採用的手法包括使用角磨機等工業切割設備，切斷這些兩噸重結構的底座。雖然在 Concordia 的一個變壓器被盜走銅線，但另外三起事件中並未發現物料缺失，顯示其主要動機仍未確定。導致的高壓電線外露情況，使得即便不直接接觸，僅僅靠近也可能發生觸電事故。

Concurrently, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, are investigating a series of incursions at railway crossings occurring between June 10 and June 22. These actions, characterized by the RCMP as deliberate attempts to extract copper from electrical systems, have resulted in the degradation of safety signage. The institutional concern centers on the potential for systemic failure in driver warning mechanisms, thereby increasing the probability of railway-related accidents. Both jurisdictions have initiated appeals for public surveillance data and cooperation from scrap metal vendors to identify the perpetrators.

與此同時，新斯科舍省皮克頓郡的加拿大皇家騎警（RCMP）正調查 6 月 10 日至 6 月 22 日期間發生的一系列鐵路平交道闖入事件。RCMP 將這些行為定義為蓄意從電力系統提取銅線的嘗試，並導致安全標誌受損。機構關注的重點在於駕駛員警告機制可能出現系統性失效，從而增加鐵路相關事故的機率。兩個司法管轄區均已開始呼籲公眾提供監控數據，並請求廢金商合作以識別犯罪者。

Authorities in both regions continue to investigate these breaches of critical infrastructure to mitigate ongoing public safety hazards.

兩個地區的當局將繼續調查這些關鍵基礎設施被破壞的事件，以減輕對公眾安全造成的持續風險。
