The Port Elizabeth K9 Unit apprehended a suspect who had broken into a cellphone tower in McHardy Street, Kensington, shortly before midnight on Sunday.“Police responded to a tip-off about suspects breaking into a secure site housing cellphone tower equipment. They arrived and found that the thieves had broken through the palisade fencing surrounding the tower,” Police spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu said.
“As police arrived, an unknown number of suspects scattered in different directions.
“Max was released and managed to nab one of the suspects, a 21-year-old, who was trying to run across a nearby school field,” she said.
“Several other suspects managed to escape. A kit bag was found on the scene containing implements used to break into the site.”
Earlier this year, police said cellphone tower battery theft as a major national problem – costing companies millions of rand every month.
