hand in the fight against the theft of copper. She explained that the headquarters of DA’91 was targeted for a third time in 2 months by copper thieves and that these thefts will not stop because of the high demand in stolen copper.

Del Castilho also wants these companies to get registered at the Chamber of Commerce (KKF) so that they can also pay taxes and keep track of all of the people whom they buy copper from.
