Over 500 metres of copper cabling was stolen from the road up to Macharaviaya; the stretch of road from the motorway to the urbanization Echevarria, in the early hours of Sunday night and Monday morning.
According to Belén Caballero, the councillor for service operations, the theft is valued at €3000, and has meant the area has been without electricity.
It was planned that Tuesday would see the work begin in order to restore normality to the population affected.
