Electric meter removed after drug farm discovered.

I have been to a few of these jobs over the years where the police have raided the premises and have taken the DNO rep. with them. The DNO will remove the supply fuse and reseal the head and remove the meter. 

They will not re-connect unless they get a satisfactory EICR. When I have done these I put under "limitations" "Dead testing only as no supply connected.The installation will require further live testing when the supply is re-connected". 

The houses I have seen have been extensively damaged with holes cut in floors and roof for ducting to vent the heat. Nails or screw eyes banged in to walls for steel wires to hang the lights off, earth on the floors with water damage everywhere. A consumer unit with no cover screwed to the wall and supplied directly from the head or meter with live terminals exposed. I have not seen one that has utilized the domestic installation. The ones I have seen I would think were done by the same person(s) as the "installations" were almost to the same method and layout. 

I have seen one with metal door handles connected to the mains as a booby trap for the Police and other drug dealing competition.

All the ones I have seen were rental premises where a smartly dressed South Asian man turns up complete with briefcase and offers the landlord 6 months rent in cash on the spot so his company boss, who is paying a visit to the UK, can live there during his stay. Landlord says yes please and takes the cash no doubt forgetting to tell HMRC of their cash payment. The landlord very upset they have no electricity and thousands of pounds of damage to the house and missing furniture.
