The devices were seized in a joint operation between Miri police and Sarawak Energy Berhad between February and April, and have an estimated value of RM5.3 million ($1.25 million USD), according to the outlet. Electricity theft is a persistent issue in numerous regions where Bitcoin is mined, as some operators use illegal means to secure the cheap electricity necessary to make a big profit mining cryptocurrency. According to the report, the mining rigs were demolished in the parking lot of the Miri district police headquarters this week, as seen in the video above. Earlier this week, the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) similarly busted a crypto mining operation for allegedly stealing electricity from a nearby regional energy provider.	./cache/www-vice-com-5794.html	./txt/www-vice-com-5794.txt
