Hopeton Thomas, security manager at JN Bank
Security manager at JN Bank, Hopeton Thomas, is warning that the combination of storm-related instability and the upcoming Christmas season, traditionally a period of heightened criminal activity, poses serious risks across the island.
He says weakened security systems, displaced residents and general disruption have created conditions that can be exploited by impersonators, scammers and organised criminal groups looking to take advantage of confusion and reduced oversight.
Mr. Thomas is urging Jamaicans to take extra precautions at home, work and while travelling, stressing that collective vigilance will be crucial to preventing criminals from capitalising on both the recovery effort and the holiday period.
He is also advising the public to be especially cautious when dealing with contractors or individuals claiming to represent utility companies or government agencies, noting that all credentials, including identification and proof of authorisation, must be verified.
