Copper theft rampant in Tlokweng

Most hard hit areas are Masetlheng, Sefhoke and Selokwane in which prime infrastructural developments like Oasis Motel and Morning Star are housed.  "The problem started mid August," Tlokweng Police Station Commander Lebalang Maniki has said.

Maniki said in many instances the offense is committed through cutting of the copper cable. He confessed that police are yet to figure out how they do it as there is the question of height to consider. However in some incidences electricity poles are dug out to reach to the copper cables, in others underground cables are unearthed.
