00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: that were either broken into or had their windows broken

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: in Coconut Grove. I believe it was yesterday. Now joining

Speaker 1: you one of the victims of having your windows smashed

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: or what happened for you?

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: It happened on the on the weekend. We had a

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: vehicles out wide and they rammed the front gates to

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: get the car out into the jewel. Oh no, and

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: after they got a built, they then trashed every every lens, window,

14
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: jumped on the roof until it caved in.

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: That's that is unbelievable. So that happened on the weekend

16
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: that the hot white, they hot wired the vehicle. What

17
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: impact does that have on your business having having that

18
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: happened to your vehicle and does it stop you from

19
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: being able to do your work?

20
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll stop me doing work. It was one of

21
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: our specialized vehicles to move equipment around.

22
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: Oh bloody hell, mate, was there also, So are you

23
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: guys based in coconut growth or not? Yep? Was there

24
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: also a situation yesterday then where there was windows smashed

25
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: as well?

26
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: No, there was an incident during the day around four o'clockish.

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: Some people were breaking into vehicles and broke into a

28
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: card down right down the other end of the street

29
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: from us. I heard something, some yelling out the front,

30
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: so I ran out and have a look to see

31
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: what was going on, and I saw some people trying

32
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: to access other vehicles that were locked. They were just

33
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: testing to see if they were unlocked, but apparently they

34
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: had already had broken into one. They then damaged the

35
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: side of another vehicle of ours that was parked out

36
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 2: in the street, which was coming to and throwing for

37
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: the day. Yeah, and this was in broad daylight, you know,

38
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: when the a few of the workers down the street

39
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: actually you know started they called the police and they

40
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: were following the people up the street, so they they

41
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: went to get undressed into just into their underwear so

42
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: to try and tackle with an attacker the other guy.

43
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: So that's when I unlocked the gates and came out

44
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: as well, to be sort of a deterrent in numbers.

45
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: Mate, is there have you got? It sounds as though

46
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: because we caught up with one of the business owners

47
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: there around the same area a couple of weeks ago,

48
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: and he said that there had been an issue in

49
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: recent weeks with that public drunkenness and people breaking in

50
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: and running a mark.

51
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: There's been a great deal, a great deal down down

52
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: out just in our suburb itself. You know, the people

53
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: from the Asian Emporium, the builders are actually you know,

54
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: seeing people actually taking trying to steal tools out of

55
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: their vehicles whilst they're working actually on the site. You know,

56
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: it's just it's just not out of control.

57
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's enough, is enough? Like I just don't understand. Yeah,

58
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: like how it how it continues on And I really

59
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: feel for people like yourself who are having to deal

60
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: with it, particularly then when one of your cars is

61
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: taken off the road.

62
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: Yeah it was more than a car, it was more

63
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: like a it was that cars. They've done so much

64
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: community work as well, because they had special lifting equipment

65
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: on the back, so those services won't be available any Oh.
