Cable Thief Nabbed in Newark, Police Crack Down

0:00On April 1st, an 18-year-old dude got nabbed the Newark after cops spotted a ton of cable stuffed in his car boot. Patrols near Newark Castle Railway Station flagged the vehicle Monday night, it peeled out quick, but they tracked it down, stopped nearby, with the guy. Ducking in the passenger seat like he was playing hide and seek. This bus ties into a bigger police push against cable theft ripping through the area where crooks are yanking copper wiring for quick cash. Back in March, another arrest went down after someone ripped up 1,700 meters of cable from under the A617 near. Kelhame. Both guys out on conditional bail now. In Speciale Ellem is leading the charge, calling it a top priority since these thefts spark dangerous digs and black out power for folks, cops ain't. Getting up on this mess.
