The Elsburg police were recently patrolling in Tedstoneville when they received an anonymous tip-off that there were people burning copper cables in Valk Street.<\/p>\n

They rushed to the scene where they found a woman and a man in the house, as well as copper cables.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

When the police questioned the pair, they were told that the woman’s husband owned the copper cables and he was not there.<\/p>\n

The two could not, however, produce a receipt\/invoice for the cables.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

“The officers then contacted the Ekurhuleni Metro and metro employees came out to inspect the cables,” said Const Daphney Phooko, communications officer for the Elsburg SAPS.<\/p>\n

“It was confirmed that the cables were municipal property.”<\/p>\n

The suspects, aged 34 and 43 respectively, were arrested and are facing charges of being in possession of suspected stolen property.<\/p>\n
