Cable thieves caught red-handed on busy Durban road

Two men were nabbed while allegedly stealing cables in broad daylight on a busy road in Durban on Tuesday afternoon.

The eThekwini municipality said a municipal official raised the alarm when he saw the “brazen” suspects removing cables on Margaret Mncadi Avenue.

Durban metro police arrested the pair within 10 minutes and they were found in possession of tools used to remove the cable.
