Engancharse a la luz

How can we say engancharse a la luz?
Engancharse a la luz es cuando una persona no quiere pagar el cosumo de electricidad y se enganchan, se conectan ilegalmente, y consumen sin pagar un duro.

Yes, but 'hook into the power grid (power distribution network) illegally'.

In Mexico we say "colgarse de la luz".

And in slang: "poner un diablito". :D
