The Ghana Police Service has launched investigations into a stolen transformer belonging the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) at Bunso in the Fanteakwa South District of the Eastern Region.
The 100kVA transformer valued at GH¢ 71,000 which was stolen last week was situated on the CSIR- Plant Genetic Resources Research Institute land near the Police station and Fire Service Command.
The incident, according to Accra-based Channel One TV, has plunged parts of the area into darkness, with businesses slowing down.
Meanwhile, the Eastern Regional ECG office has expressed worry about the development and has pledged commitment to replace the installation which is said to come with an extra 20 percent cost.
