October 2, 2025
In Alona, metal thieves are primarily targeting the elderly, such as an 85-year-old woman who caught them in the act. When she confronted them, they nearly hit her with their car while escaping. The community leader stated that the area is suffering from metal theft and lack of police presence, leaving residents feeling unsafe. Surveillance cameras have been installed, but residents are still vulnerable. There are proposals for hiring local police officers to improve security.
