40 Arrested In Kumasi For Power Theft by ninjasta: 10:35am On Dec 07, 2015 |
Forty customers of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) have been arrested for power theft. They were arrested during an exercise organised by the ECG with the assistance of the police to clamp down on illegal connections. During the exercise, the customers, whose power supply had earlier been disconnected for non-payment of bills, had self-reconnected the power. Briefing the press in Kumasi Thursday, the Ashanti Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mr Mohammed Tanko, said the police had been assisting the company to clamp down on the activities of power thieves for some time now. He said the exercise, which was carried out in Suame, Danyame and Abuakwa district areas of the ECG, saw 40 arrested for power theft and illegal connection. He said unlike previous exercises where the company allowed the suspects to pay the amount owed with a penalty without prosecuting them, “this time we want the law to take its full course to serve as a deterrent to others”. http://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/crime/40-Arrested-in-Kumasi-for-power-theft-398472 |
