According to Powell, the suspect could be linked to a theft incident at another premises on Gumtree Road this month.

This was the second arrest made by the company within two days.

On Tuesday (December 30), a suspect was arrested for copper cables theft on Umgeni Road.

In that case it was revealed the suspect was employed at the property to safeguard a site in the area.

“During the interview, the suspect was requested to show the contents of the bag, which revealed copper cables. When questioned about their origin, the suspect was unable to provide a clear or legitimate explanation.
