A man was caught red-handed trying to steal equipment from a cellphone tower in Silverton on Friday.
Brinant security spokesperson Stephen Wolmarans said security officers received a tip-off from a community WhatsApp group and responded immediately.
“There were two suspects on the scene; one we managed to arrest, but the other one unfortunately got away,” he said.
Wolmarans said the men were trying to steal batteries from the tower and had already disconnected the cables when security officers pounced on them.
The apprehended man was handed over to Silverton police.
