Date: Jul 1, 2025

South African (SA) police have arrested three Tshwane municipal workers in connection with the theft of an electricity transformer worth over $390 000 in the town of Laudium

One suspect is reportedly still at large. 

Last year, another City of Tshwane municipal worker was arrested in connection with an attempted transformer theft at the Claudius Substation, in the same town of Laudium. 

The theft reportedly involved a syndicate and was foiled due to a community tip-off and swift action by the local police.
