Day-to-day electricity fraud and thefts in utilities have increased by distribution and consumer levels, and they are also considered non-technical losses. The primary objective of this work is to detect electrical power theft in the distribution system by using a Random Forest (RF) algorithm fed Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), Extereme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Categerical Boosting (CatBoost),  which is an advanced algorithm from aCatboostRF for Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The paper proposes the framework of training a models and testing a models of the data by using information data set to predict the target value. It gives them more efficient when compared to the already used techniques. The two-level data processing approach is proposed in this paper since the data processed by CatboostRF are provided as input to the ELM classifier. The results show that it reduces the deviation error and increases the classification rate accuracy.
