RESIDENTS from Leiden in Delft are dik of skelms apparently stealing electricity from the power lines, leaving them without krag for weeks on end.

Resident Adelah Harrison, 58, said she has been living in Delft for 23 years.

But since mense started putting up shacks in the area during the Covid pandemic, they have been having issues with electricity.

She explains: “It has been going on like this for five years. Most of the time the power is off instead of on and we cannot take it anymore.

“Our power will be off for two weeks then go back on again for a day, then off for another week or longer before it goes back off for weeks.
