Man arrested for impersonating JPS worker to solicit payment for reconnection in Westmoreland

A man impersonating a Jamaica Public Service (JPS) worker and soliciting payment for reconnection in Westmoreland, has been arrested.

In a statement the JPS said based on reports, the man who is neither a JPS worker nor a contractor, was brought in for soliciting payment from residents and promising to have their electricity reconnected.

JPS is once again warning members of the public against making payments to individuals or teams claiming to be JPS workers and offering to reconnect electricity for a fee.

The company first issued this warning two days after the passage of Hurricane Beryl, when reports of unscrupulous activities emerged, following the damage to the JPS infrastructure.

Citizens are also being reminded that every legitimate JPS worker will have their photo identification and that no JPS worker will solicit payment to have lights reconnected.

JPS is reminding citizens that the practice is unethical and illegal.

The company reiterated that the act does not only put the lives of the culprits and the customers who are paying them in danger, but also JPS workers who are on the ground interfacing with the lines and electrical infrastructure.

JPS has also warned that engaging in the practice could set back its restoration efforts significantly.
