Kota Kinabalu: “Pancing karan”, a local term for electricity theft by making illegal connections, is not something “unusual” in Sabah, especially among squatter residents, who are usually illegal immigrants.
Bernama, which has been following the authorities in a two-day operation to crack down on this activity in Lorong Keleto, Kampung Bawang, and Kampung Suang Parai, here, saw how cables are illegally connected to the feeder boxes by the culprits to steal electricity to their homes (pic).
Wires and cables dangling in bunches from electric poles and also lying on the ground and across rivers are a common sight. They pose a threat to the safety of those living in the area.
