What happens when a G&G fails

Our collection is slow and while we may be having relative serenity within our area with almost no reports of criminal activities, all other areas ( non GnG )around us have been reporting theft and break-in cases. I remember the time before our GnG was up when we were experiencing almost 10 criminal cases a month. Our GnG keeps us safe but let's not take it for granted.

Here is an extract from SJ Alert:-

This happened in USJ26 from a resident called Akil. He lamented that crime has returned to his neighborhood since the G&G stopped due to the non-cooperation of the residents there.

Akil's remark

We had a break-in at our neighborhood yesterday between 4pm and 6pm during the heavy thunderstorm. The owner left the house at 4pm and returned around 6pm to find gate and door ajar. A suspicious silver MPV was seen leaving in a hurry when the owner returned with some tools used for breaking into the house, left behind. The owner reported the incident to the Police.

This is the THIRD (3) case since GnG stopped due to some residents apathy. And the thieves knows this and are targeting USJ 26. They being "professional", will always choose a time when we are most vulnerable for example:

1) Heavy rain, so even if the alarm sounds, no one will take notice.
2) Weekdays when no one is at home
3) Power failure (when CCTV and alarm not working)

Looking at the pattern…the guard can only serve as a deterrent….

And this was the case for the 2+ years crime free neighbourhood (while we had GnG implemented)

For those who don’t believe in GnG, IT WORKS……..


Hopefully, with these incidents, the residents at USJ26 can start to cooperate again.

Regards,

Akil
