Engineering News reports that according to power utility Eskom, one of the two accused suspects in a case involving tampering with critical infrastructure has been convicted in the Kriel Magistrate’s Court and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment.
The two suspects were arrested on 24 February 2022 on suspicion of stealing copper bars and installed copper at a substation in Mpumalanga. Eskom used drone surveillance to confirm the crime and suspects involved. Both suspects were granted bail, but the convicted suspect remained in custody since the day of the arrest until sentencing. The other accused has a warrant of arrest out for him. Eskom commended the utility’s internal security investigations and the SA Police Service’s detectives, who helped to bring the perpetrator to book.
