Man arrested for the possession of copper cables

Man cannot explain where copper came from.

The Primrose police recently arrested a 27-year-old man in Main Reef Road, in Primrose.

The man was arrested for the possession of suspected stolen property after officers received a complaint from a member of the community about someone burning copper cables in Main Reef Road.

“Officers rushed to the scene, where they found the complainant who took them to the scene,” explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.

It was there that officers discovered the accused.

They questioned the man, but he was unable to give a clear explanation as to where the copper had come from or produce proof of ownership.

The man was arrested and later appeared in the Germiston Magistrates Court, where the matter was postponed.
