The plague of the powerline theft has become a heavy concern in the community. The news getting to us now is that these people now go around with arms to scare off anyone that tries to confront them.
Residents of 41 Road, H close to be precise, complained of this same issue happening to them 2 to 3 weeks ago. A resident said “these men came at night and tried to convince the close security to open the gate for them but he refused then they showed their weapons to him and he had no choice but to open and let them in”
“We have not had like for over 2 weeks now thanks to the men that came into the close to dig out our cables from the ground.” Another resident said.
The most recent news that got to us was same thing almost happened on 7th Avenue a couple of days ago. We were told that “these men came in numbers, armed with weapons, but were confronted by a few residents who were awake to see them. Luckily enough, the soldiers that have camp close to the area came to our rescue and chased them off.”
Please let us try to keep an eye out for these threats, we are our own security.
