“If the vandal had made away with the cable, the whole area would have been plunged into darkness for days.

“The AEDC has been spending a lot of money on repairs of vandalised equipment and stolen cables.

“If all our installations are well secured, this money would have been spent on buying new equipment and ensuring regular power supply.”

Meanwhile, the corpse of the vandal has been handed over to the Police and has been taken to an undisclosed morgue.
