Mr. Nguyen Minh Phuc said: "Thang Binh Power Management Team is trying to fix the problem as soon as possible to restore power, helping businesses stabilize production and business".
The incident has been reported and the Thang Binh Commune Police are coordinating with relevant authorities to continue investigating and clarifying the theft suspect.
A representative of the Thang Binh Power Management Team warned that the act of stealing materials and equipment on the power grid in operation is extremely dangerous, which can directly threaten the life of the perpetrator.
