In the Achinsk district of the Krasnoyarsk region, an illegal mining farm was uncovered on the premises of an agricultural enterprise, as reported by the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The investigation was initiated following a report from a representative of an energy company regarding the theft of electricity by one of the rural enterprises in the settlement of Gorny.
According to police information, from October 2025 to January 2026, unidentified individuals altered the operation of the metering devices at the substation. Energy specialists estimate the damage at 1.2 million rubles.
During a search, law enforcement officials found the mining farm and seized 179 computer units, along with a logbook, bank cards, a laptop, and a video recorder containing recordings.
A criminal case has been initiated under part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Fraud”). The police are working to identify those involved in the crime.
Previously, in the Irkutsk region, within a forest area near the railway crossing of Usolye-Sibirskoye–Malta, police dismantled an illegal mining farm.
