A 50-year-old suspect was arrested in Mitchells Plain on Monday, for being in possession of stolen property.
The City’s Law Enforcement spokesperson, Wayne Dyason, says
officers responded to a complaint of electrical cables being stripped at a
residence in Lentegeur.
‘’Upon arrival at the property they observed a heap of
cable insulation outside the backdoor of the property. The officers also
noticed a Wendy house on the property. After being given permission to enter,
they found the outer covers of a 132 000V 3 core copper cable. Upon further
inspection a complete 3m piece of 132 000V x 3 core copper cable was found,’’
said Dyason.
