Crime & Punishment of Wednesday, 22 September 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comCorrespondence from Upper East RegionPersons suspected to be thieves have cut open the metal casing of a number of automated water discharging measuring systems fixed to the laterals of the Tono dam canal in the Kassena-Nankana area and made away with solar batteries. According to deepthroat sources, nearly seven of the Tubular Gel VRLA batteries and four solar panels have gone missing. For the systems the thieves could not cut open, the batteries were spared, our sources added. Our sources noted that the high quality and expensive nature of the solar batteries could also be the reason thieves have targeted the installations. The theft cases have put the work of Mechatronic PLC - the subcontractor installing the water systems in jeopardy.
