Theft of outdoor taps & copper pipes is on the increase in the Brindhaven

A resident of Everest Lane discovered that two tapes from his outside sink had been stolen this morning (Tuesday).

The homeowner noticed a man on his property and upon investigation found water gushing from the point where two taps had been broken off. The suspect fled with the stolen goods but left his purple woollen beanie behind.

Members of Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) have noticed an increase in the theft of copper pipes and taps from residential properties.
