Three suspects have appeared in the Somerset Magistrate court yesterday for cable theft.

The accused were caught digging up electricity cable in a Somerset West security complex.

Two suspects were equipped with shovels, garden forks, trowels and knives for removing the insulation from the 23 metres of cable they had stolen.

Another suspect was arrested with 25 kg of ‘skinned’ copper cable in his backpack.

The suspects had claimed that two security guards at the complex assisted them.

The security guards are at large.
