Another break-in

Another break-in occured at Block B in July. The break-in occured at the time when there was a lady in the house. The lady was alone. Fortunately, no harm was done to the lady. The lady must have been badly traumatized by the incident. How did the burglar manage to get into Prima so easily? An inside job could be ruled out as the burglar is an Indian. The description of the burglar did not fit any of the residents here.

What went wrong? My guess must be the lax security at the guardhouse. I took quite sometime to observe the situation at the guardhouse. I discovered that the procedures that they practised are not effective at all in preventing outsiders from coming in. The guards hardly pay any attention to the walk-in visitors. Anybody can walk into Prima without being questioned or stopped. I have never seen any of the guards asking the residents for their resident passes. Maybe, they are too shy to ask or they are worried that the residents would be offended. The visitors with cars can just drive in after collecting the visitor's pass. Sad to mention that Prima is perceived as a public property. I would like to stress that our priority is not the visitors but the safety of the residents. The visitors have no rights to complain if they have been inconvenienced. They are only visiting, they don't reside here.

The R.A. would be having another meeting with the chief of security from UOA. We shall be recommending some new procedures to the security for their consideration. We just hope the security would accept some of our recommendations which would tighten the security at the guardhouse.

Thank you and have a nice day!
