Cable thieves target Upper Town Thieves stole over 10,000 worth of copper cabling from the Upper

Town on Sunday. They climbed over the walls of the old prison and stripped all the wiring. The Tower of Homage and the Moorish Castle ticket office have been affected and are currently using generators until the damage to the wiring installations have be en repaired. The spotlight at Moorish Castle is also temporarily out of action. It is said that the thieves also cut through live electricity cables, causing a power cut.
