The Dominican Electricity Transmission Company (ETED) said that unknown parties have dismantled the lower part of transmission tower #80, located between the towns of Yamasa and Monte Plata. The removal of the lower part of the structure caused the tower to fall and put the country's electricity transmission system in danger of collapse. The company warned that the vandalism represented an attack on the system's security and called on the National Police and the National Investigation Department (DNI) to investigate and identify the vandals and put them on trial. According to the General Electricity Law this type of activity is punishable by prison terms of up to ten years. The law also punishes anyone who takes part in such actions, either directly or indirectly, or purchases or sells the items taken during an attack on the security of the national electric system with prison sentences of between five and ten years.
