An organised group of Rumanian citizens, dedicated to stealing copper telephone and lighting cable have been stopped by Agentes del Cuerpo Nacional de Policía from San Andrés de Murcia,. They were found with 60 kilos of “clean” copper i.e. copper wire stripped of its insualtion.
The family of four have been caught in the police operation,´Operación cobre´ that has been ongoing for months. They are accused of more than 20 cases of theft of copper amounting to 3,000 metres of wiring with a value of about 150,000 Euros.
This type of robbery, carried out by groups of Rumanians, causes serious damage to public services. It affects all classes of electrical installations, telephone connections, water canalisation, communications networks, road security etc.
Could this be why Telefonica take so long to install new phones?
