City Power observers have arrested nine people for alleged cable theft near the Meadowlands hostel in Soweto, police said on Sunday.

The group, which was aged between 16 and 39, was arrested on Friday, said Constable Sibusiso Chauke.

Observers saw 10 people carrying spades and hammers.

"The suspects started to dig and steal the cables and the investigators approached them," said Chauke.

One of the men managed to flee the scene.

"They will appear in the Meadowlands Magistrate's Court on Monday for cable theft," said Chauke.
