FIFE - A thief went after a precious metal and paid for it with his life. It was copper electrical wire in a live high voltage power line.

Fife police say two men came out in the dead of night armed with a rope. They thought they would just toss the line over the wire and pull it down.

But before that could happen electricity came down the rope, electrocuted one and burned the other. A staggering 55,000 volts came down the rope passed through their hands into their bodies and out their feet.
