Police have arrested a Trinidadian national residing in Aux Lyon, Dennery for allegedly stealing electricity.
The man, who is employed by the St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) as a sub-contractor, was arrested by Richfond Police on Thursday morning for reconnecting his electricity after it was disconnected over four months ago for being in arrears.
Reports are that LUCELEC officials were conducting checks in the area on Wednesday when they noticed the illegal connection at the residence and spoke with the police.
They returned to the house with the police the following day where the suspect was arrested.
He was granted bail to attend court for the offense of abstracting electricity without the permission of the authorities.
