A shocking incident in the Golden Triangle as sanitation workers are held up at gunpoint by a motorcyclist. Discover the rising crime in Cliveden Avenue and how it affects everyday workers.

In a chilling escalation of crime, a motorcyclist recently held sanitation workers from the National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA) at gunpoint in the Golden Triangle, specifically along Cliveden Avenue. This alarming incident, targeting workers simply carrying out their duties, underscores the rising wave of criminal activities plaguing the area.

Golden Triangle Residents on Edge

The Golden Triangle, known for its once-peaceful, affluent neighbourhood, has seen a worrying increase in crime. Residents on Cliveden Avenue reported multiple break-ins and home invasions, and many fear for their safety. Now, even public service workers are not immune to the brazen actions of criminals.

NSWMA Workers Become Targets

In a disturbing twist, the criminals targeted NSWMA sanitation engineers—individuals already performing one of the most undervalued yet essential roles in society. The gunman, riding a motorcycle, held them at gunpoint, stripping them of their belongings. These workers, who are at the lower end of the pay scale, faced terror while simply trying to earn a living. The incident shocked both residents and workers alike.

This particular event raises broader questions about the safety and protection of individuals who serve our communities. It highlights the growing vulnerability of essential workers, often overlooked, who play a crucial role in maintaining public health and cleanliness.

Authorities Urged to Act

Authorities urge local police to increase patrols in the Golden Triangle area, particularly on Cliveden Avenue, where criminal activities have spiked. Residents are calling for immediate action to prevent future incidents and to safeguard the lives of not only the residents but also public workers who provide critical services.

Police have launched an investigation into the hold-up but have not yet apprehended the motorcyclist responsible. Authorities urge witnesses to come forward with any information to aid the investigation.

Safety Tips for Public Workers

Given the rise in such crimes, public workers, particularly those employed by the NSWMA, are advised to remain vigilant while on duty. It’s also essential that workers report suspicious activities immediately to the authorities.
