Stealing of Ghana Telecom cables is on the increase in the Hohoe Municipality with no week passing without reports of such occurrence, the company has said.
Mr Seth Seglah, Hohoe Municipal Head of the GT, told the Ghana News Agency that about 25,000 metres of cable estimated at more than GHc50,000 had been stolen since January this year.
He mentioned the Bungalow Road, a suburb of Hohoe, as having recorded as much as 15 cases of such thefts and accounting for 10,800 metres cable.
Mr Seglah said four juveniles were arrested in two separate operations in April this year for stealing the company’s cables and that the case had been transferred to the Department of Social Welfare because of they were minors.
Mr Daniel Ablordey, Hohoe Municipal Police Commander, said lack of vehicles for patrol duties was a challenge facing the police but reassured that his outfit was co-operating with community watch committees to clampdown on the culprits.
