More than 5,000 Nova Scotia Power customers were left in the dark on Monday afternoon as crews worked to repair damage at one of the company’s substations.
Officials with Nova Scotia Power say that someone broke in and stole copper wire from a substation in Spryfield, forcing crews to make emergency repairs on Monday.

Power has since been restored and police are investigating the incident.
