KSS warned that substations are damaged and stripped of cables. They said cable theft is everyone’s problem and not just a petty crime.
Kasselman Security Services (KSS) urged residents the past week to be vigilant and alert during load-shedding.
Criminals take advantage of the fact that many alarm battery systems are not able to recharge fully. Alarms should be tested frequently.
