Thieves outwit Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) - Despite new security measures, wily homeowners tap into power lines

Jamaica Gleaner News "Months after introducing a new mechanism to clamp down on electricity theft, crafty householders have still managed to tap into power sources, the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) has reported.

The electricity provider had started to install concentric neutral cables in some areas to reduce the number of illegal throw-ups. These cables make electricity theft more difficult because a metal casing covers the wires that actually transmit the electrical power."
