Criminals are suspected to be behind the continued outages of street lights in Toti.
A total of 198 street lights were found faulty along the main arterial route between Winklespruit and Inyoni Rocks Crescent during an inspection this month.
While some have been repaired, others have in turn become faulty again and not least in areas noted for criminal and other questionable activities such as Beach Road and Commercial Road in the old CBD.
Cllr Andre Beetge confirmed they suspect deliberate interference by third parties to render the lights dysfunctional to cloak their nocturnal activities.
“While the matter is under investigation, residents are encouraged to continue reporting faulty street lights and traffic signals to the Electricity Call Centre on 080-131-3111.
