One person was arrested in operation, which was supported by the security forces.
Two weeks ago the JPS removed almost 2,400 wires from its system in the Olympic and Waterhouse communities in the parish. One person was also arrested in that operation.
The light and power company says that approximately US$30 million was lost due to electricity theft last year.

I was in Olympic Gardens a few days ago, conducting some business (what? yes bizniz!), when all of a sudden people started moving around frantically, some running, and the cries of, ">>>>>> man a coooome, >>>>>> man a coooome!" It sounded like a refrain from a folk song.

I couldn't make out the first word or words but when I saw the residents climb onto roofs, or pick up long bamboo sticks and start poking around at electrical connections, I figured out they were saying, "Light man a coooome!"

It reminded me of a Miriam Makeba song, "Khawuleza", a word the residents of the townships would shout when the police passed through to raid the communities. It meant, "Run, don't let the police catch you!"
