San Martín residents report wave of electrical cable thefts

Residents in San Martín are reporting a wave of cable thefts targeting the city's central district, resulting in power outages for many. On Monday morning, thieves stole electrical cables from the Juzgado Vial de San Martín on Avenida Duarte de Perón, forcing the suspension of services at the building for several hours.

Local citizens claim these incidents are not isolated. Residents near Balcarce and Moreno streets, as well as those near the former Hotel San Pedro, have reported similar thefts. Some victims noted that thieves are leaving behind cables that lack copper to avoid detection. Community members are calling for increased security presence in the downtown area to prevent further damage to the electrical grid and recurring outages.
