Chandigarh Police on Monday said they busted the gang involved in stealing thousands of meters of copper wire from the many solar power plants and panels installed across Chandigarh, as they arrested two men and apprehended five juveniles Friday.
At least 10 cases were reported, over months, where many metres of copper wire were stolen from the plants and panels.
While the juveniles were sent to the Juvenile Home, Sector 25, the two men, Rajesh, alias Kancha, and Ram Singh, both residents of EWS Dhanas, were remanded in judicial custody. Police said the gang was busted on the basis of a tip-off they received on Friday.
