Businesswoman Arrested for Stolen Copper | Johannesburg News

In Mthatha, police and the Hawks nabbed a 29-year-old businesswoman for allegedly trafficking stolen copper cables—found stuffed in her bakkie—and an electrical component ripped from a municipal substation. The bust followed a tip about suspicious truck activity in Phola Park; officers caught her mid-transfer and made the arrest on the spot. Authorities are now digging deeper into how the theft unfolded and who else may be involved, with the suspect already appearing in court on charges of possession of stolen property. This crackdown is vital to protecting community power infrastructure and stopping similar crimes. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
