What to do if I suspect a meter has been tampered with?
Meter cheating means tampering with the meter, so it doesn’t record how much gas or electricity is being used or trying to bypass the meter completely.
This is theft and can lead to a fine or prison sentence.
It is also dangerous and risks serious injuries to innocent people and can cause major damage to property. If you spot energy theft anywhere, report it anonymously now via www.stayenergysafe.co.uk.
