Last night, an incident occurred involving an attempted theft at a Bred Bank ATM located along the Nadi back-road. The assailants caused damage to the ATM’s display screen and have seemingly pulled the machine out from its position.
A local businessman, who chose to remain anonymous, expressed concern over the increasing crime in the area, particularly noting that this is the first time a break-in aimed at an ATM has been reported. He pointed out that nearby establishments have also experienced petty thefts and break-ins. He emphasized the need for enhanced police presence in the area during nighttime hours to deter such criminal activities.
The nearby shop also suffered damage, as a large stone was used to attempt to smash its front glass. This incident highlights the troubling trend of rising crime in the neighborhood.
It’s crucial for local authorities and law enforcement to address these concerns, ensuring that communities feel safe and secure. Increased police patrols and community engagement could help mitigate these issues, fostering a sense of security among residents and business owners alike.
This incident could serve as a catalyst for community action and police collaboration to enhance safety measures in the area, which could ultimately contribute to a more secure environment for both businesses and residents moving forward.
