Hundreds of customers in several Princes Town communities were left without electricity for hours between Friday and yesterday after vandals cut high-voltage power cables on Friday night, plunging entire neighbourhoods into darkness.
The outage was caused after vandals cut cables connected to a 12,000-volt circuit breaker at the junction of Seebalack Avenue and Pagee Trace.
The vandalism also resulted in four high-voltage (HV) cables, which supply approximately 30 pad-mounted transformers installed in the Housing Development Corporation’s (HDC) Fairfield development, Princes Town, being severed.
