In a related case, the police are investigating a case of theft of copper cables which occurred on 24 July in Pumula North, Bulawayo.

Police say the suspects cut and left behind 2 x 155 mm x 35 mm overhead cables.

Meanwhile, on 24 July police recovered 57 scrap pieces of copper cables at Northend Suburb, Bulawayo. The suspect dropped the cables and fled from a mob which was chasing him.

Copper thieves have been targeting electricity, telecommunications and transport sectors, and each year Zimbabwe’s parastatals spend millions of dollars replacing stolen cables and restoring vandalised infrastructure due to cable theft.
