Serowe police say their policing area has been hit by a wave of Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) electric cables theft, currently keeping the police on their toes.

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.
