Police in Zimbabwe last week arrested two young boys in Harare over theft of copper cables.

The boys, with one of them claiming to be 12, although he looks much younger, were going to round cutting Telone cables.

The two were seen disembarking from the pole with a copper cable and after a chase, a whistleblower managed catch one of them who claimed to be 12 yrs old with cables.

The whistleblower informed police who later managed to apprehend the other boy.

In handcuffs, the two boys were taken to Epworth where they established the buyer.
