Police in Galizano arrested three men suspected of stealing around 1,500 metres of street lighting cable. The alleged theft took place over several days, with cable removed from the street lighting earth connection. As a result, some areas of the town reportedly lost light, while the cable was being taken away. At the time of the arrests, the men were transporting several hundred metres of the cable in a vehicle. The Guardia Civil was alerted during the early hours of 4 November after officers spotted several people acting suspiciously in the municipality along with a vehicle. Officers stopped the car and identified the three men. Inside the vehicle, police found rolls of electrical grounding cable. They also seized a backpack containing tools and gloves that could be used for theft of copper cabling. With no proof of the cable’s legal origin, the officers checked where the vehicle had been and found multiple public lighting inspection boxes opened, cables cut and damage to covers on street lamps. Further inquiries linked the case to another area of Galizano, where additional street lighting cable was reportedly stolen, again with damage to inspection boxes, street lamps and cable. The three suspects have been detained, and the investigation into the thefts is continuing.
