Dumping of Aerodrome Cable Stuns Canberra Court
Canberra court heard a story of dismantled Department of Civil Aviation power cable found on Sutton Road. Witnesses described instructions to remove light fittings and dispose of equipment, with Hancock Cheney and Griffith named in the chain of events. A Queanbeyan man, James Martin, quoted prices for cable and identified Hancock as the contractor. Detective Kennedy testified about the transport of cable and remarks implying financial gain from a failed theft.
