Stolen Sagicor ABM recovered

Sagicor Bank is reporting that an Automated Banking Machine (ABM) that was removed from its location at the Bargain Village Plaza in May Pen, Clarendon has been recovered.

The banking machine was removed from its location during a reported robbery attempt, but was quickly recovered by the authorities within the plaza.

The bank's CEO, Chorvelle Johnson Cunningham, made mention of some of the issues affecting institutions in the banking industry. 

“Vandalism and theft of ABMs is an industry wide challenge, giving rise to the need for stronger measures to be taken to combat this issue,” she said. 

Sagicor says that based on the recent spate of violent threats to the security teams handling the transportation of cash, as well as the ongoing threat to ABMS, citizens should share any pertinent information that may lead to an arrest.

The bank also emphasised that ABM theft, in the long run, will have an impact on the overall service delivery of access to cash. 

The police have launched an investigation into the matter, to which Sagicor says they will supply the police with surveillance footage of the incident
