Hawks Bust Copper Theft Ring | Johannesburg News

A 29-year-old businesswoman in the Eastern Cape was arrested by the Hawks for allegedly stealing copper cables and high-value electrical gear from a municipal substation—worth nearly 61,000 rand. The bust happened in Mthatha after officers spotted her transferring goods into a Toyota GD-6, which they then searched and seized. Authorities confirmed the stolen materials belonged to the KSD Municipality, and this case is part of a broader effort to crack down on organized crime targeting critical infrastructure. She’s scheduled to appear in court Tuesday facing serious charges. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
