Electricity cable theft alarms police

Serowe Police Assistant Station Commander, Assistant Superintendent Bophelo Ntatiwa revealed to be overwhelmed by cases of electric cable theft with the hard hit areas being Mannathoko and Semane wards.

Ntatiwa said currently they are investigating two cases that occurred over the weekend but he is worried as they recorded strings of such cases in the past weeks. “These criminals target vacant houses, cut electric cables connecting electric poles to the houses. I am pleading with people to consider leaving someone to occupy their houses rather than leaving them unoccupied for a very long time.
