Police recover 778 kg of aluminium electric wire worth INR 2.2 lakhs from Sangareddy

In a dramatic turn of events straight out of a crime thriller, the Sangareddy police cracked down on an aluminium theft racket that had been quietly siphoning aluminium electric wires from burgeoning seven different real estate sites. Yes, you heard it right!

Sangareddy, situated in the northern part of the Indian state of Telangana, serves as the administrative headquarters of the Sangareddy district. On Wednesday, nine suspects were arrested in connection with a string of thefts that targeted construction ventures across Sangareddy and Sadasivapet.  The arrests shed light on a coordinated operation that had eluded authorities until now, raising questions about security measures at infrastructure development zones.

What followed was the recovery of nearly 778 kg of aluminium wire worth INR 2.2 lakhs, along with other items like an auto trolley and a collection of mobile phones. According to Dhanlaxmi Steel Distributors, aluminium wire prices can vary significantly, including those for 10 mm wires.

The overall cost is influenced by factors such as market demand, material quality, and supplier pricing strategies. At present, general aluminium wire prices range between INR 230 to INR 250 per kilogram, while 10 mm aluminium wires are typically priced between INR 1,250 and INR 1,350. These pricing ranges offer economical solutions for a wide range of industrial and electrical uses.
