In a major breakthrough, officials from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and police officers from the Swedru Divisional Police Command have apprehended several individuals in connection with the theft of ECG cables. The suspects were caught at Gomoa Awombrew in the central region, after vigilant locals raised suspicions about a broken-down truck, leading to an inspection of its cargo.
The successful operation is a welcome relief for the ECG, which has been grappling with the issue of cable theft. The stolen cables are suspected to be part of the missing ECG cables, which have caused power outages and disrupted electricity supply to many households and businesses.
The ECG has been working closely with the police to crack down on cable theft, and this latest arrest is a testament to their collaborative efforts. The suspects are currently in police custody, and investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of their involvement in the cable theft syndicate.
The central region, where the suspects were arrested, has been identified as a hotspot for cable theft. The region’s proximity to major urban centers and industrial areas makes it an attractive target for cable thieves, who can easily sell the stolen cables to unsuspecting buyers.
The ECG has urged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. The company has also assured its customers that it is working tirelessly to ensure a stable and reliable electricity supply, despite the challenges posed by cable theft.
As the investigation continues, the ECG and the police are urging anyone with information about the stolen cables or the suspects to come forward. The successful prosecution of the suspects will serve as a deterrent to others involved in cable theft, and help to ensure that the electricity supply is not disrupted by the sélfish actions of a few individuals.
