Thieves sawed off 12 charging cables from charging stations in Menen for copper

In Menen, thieves cut off 12 charging cables from stations for copper, which is valuable. The thefts occurred overnight, and police are investigating but have no suspects yet. This trend appears to be spreading from France, with thicker cables being targeted due to their higher copper content. Similar incidents have been reported in Ieper, raising concerns for local authorities. The cost of replacing these cables is significant for operators, while thieves can sell them for a substantial profit on the black market.
