The municipality of Limetz-Villez is implementing enhanced security measures after a substantial theft of public lighting cables, incurring significant repair costs.

This summer, public lighting cables were stolen along the Route des Vignes and the Route de la Roche, covering approximately 1,800 linear meters. The estimated cost for restoration ranges between €80,000 and €90,000. The municipality's insurance is expected to cover about 70% of this expense, with the remainder falling to the town.
To prevent future incidents, the town has decided on two key measures: installing a security device at the base of the lampposts and keeping the public lighting on throughout the night. The latter measure was approved by the municipal council during its meeting on October 8.
These decisions aim to improve resident safety and deter vandalism.
