The City of Johannesburg’s group forensic and investigation service made the arrest after acting on a tip-off.

The arrests were a result of a joint effort by the forensic team and the Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department.

“It is a major breakthrough for us as the City of Johannesburg because in the past we have been experiencing quite a number of people stealing copper cables,” said the city’s Lucky Sindane.
