Cable thief beaten to a pupl by community

GAUTENG – A cable thief was neutralized before he could even execute his plan at a local substation in Amandasig, Pretoria North.

The enraged community members said they will not hand the alleged thief over to police until he points out his accomplices who fled the scene and leaving their ‘friend’ at the hands of the community.

The substation had been targeted and vandalized by cable thieves on numerous occasions in the past, leaving residents without power for days. One member of the group said that this must serve as a ‘wake-up-call’ for any other criminals that they will suffer the same fate or worse if they’re caught.
