ONC Warns Against Rising Theft And Shop Break-Ins Linked To Iron Condemn (Scrap) Business

The Orashi National Congress (ONC) has noted with deep concern the rising cases of stealing and frequent shop break-ins in the Orashi region, reportedly linked to the unregulated activities of iron condemn (scrap metal) dealers in the area.

 

This development is disturbing, unacceptable, and a threat to peace, business, and livelihoods in our communities.

 

The ONC therefore, issues the following advisory:

1. To Scrap Dealers / Iron Condemn Buyers:
Do NOT buy stolen items, vandalized public property, shop fittings, roofing sheets, cables, gates, or any item suspected to be stolen. Any dealer found buying stolen property will be reported and handed over to security agencies for prosecution.

 

2. To Our Youths:
Do not allow yourselves to be used for stealing and vandalism in the name of hustle. Stealing destroys your future, your name, and the image of our land. There is dignity in honest labour.

 

3. To Shop Owners and Residents:
Be vigilant. Secure your shops properly, report suspicious movements around your shops at night, and do not hesitate to alert the vigilante, community leaders, and the Police.

4. To Security Agencies and Community Leaders:

We call on the Police, local vigilante groups, and community leadership in the Orashi region to intensify night patrols, monitor scrap yards, and ensure that all iron condemn operators are identified, registered, and regulated.

The ONC believes the Orashi region must remain a safe place for business and for living. We will not fold our hands while criminality disguised as scrap business destroys our communities.

Let us all join hands to protect our shops, our property, and our peace.
