Kimberley- Police continued to bring the copper cable thieves to book, says lieutenant Olebogeng Tawana.

Tawana said while the police where busy conducting patrols around the West-end suburb in Kimberley, they spotted two Sol Plaatje Municipality employees carrying copper cable wrapped in the plastic bag. 

The suspects were on their way to sell the cables at the local scrap-yard.

“During the investigation at the crime scene the suspects tried to negotiate a deal with the police, in exchange of money instead of the arrest. However the police refused to be lured with bribery” Tawana said.

Three suspects aged between 40 and 55 are behind bars charged for possession of copper cables. They are due to appear before the Kimberley Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.-TDN
