Well, okay, there probably isn’t much point stealing electrical cable at the moment, either. From today’s IOL:
Two held for theft of street lights
Two men have been arrested for possession of aluminium street lights worth over R20 000 in East London, police said on Sunday.
Spokesperson Superintendent Mtai Tana said a member of the dog unit, Inspector Pieter Swanepoel spotted four men near a Honda Ballade at a railway crossing at Quigney - a suburb in East London.
“One was standing next to the driver’s door and three men were on the far other side of the vehicle. Two doors were open and each of the three had an aluminium street light head in his hand. On coming close, the policeman found that the back seat was full of more aluminium light heads.”
