Last Wednesday a 29-year-old man was arrested by detectives from the Primrose Police Station and charged with the possession of suspected stolen copper cables.<\/p>\n
It is claimed that the copper cables were stolen from Cactus Road.<\/p>
\u201cThe arrest was made while detectives were at a local scrapyard investigating the theft of copper pipes stolen from Rietfontein Road,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
It is alleged that the accused entered the scrapyard carrying a heavy box full of copper cables.<\/p>
\u201cDetectives waited for the man to have the box weighed and to receive the money before they approached him and asked for proof of ownership,\u201d Maome said.<\/p>\n
The man ran from the detectives but was cornered and arrested.<\/p>\n
He was detained at the Primrose Police Station and will appear in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court soon.<\/p>\n
