The police in Uganda have arrested three people suspected of being involved in the vandalism of power transmission lines in the East African nation.
The suspects were arrested in the Nama sub-county and Mukono district last Thursday evening and Friday morning, a tweet by Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL) revealed.
UETCL urged the public to support all efforts to bring an end to the criminal activities which are hampering the country’s regular electricity supply.
The police, recently, arrested scores of people who had transmission tower parts in Kisenyi and surrounding areas.
Some unidentified persons have been vandalising power installations of the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited for some time now.
The development is costing the company huge sums of money.
It is not yet clear why Ugandan citizens are destroying power installations.
