00:00I would like to tell the banks that your security has to extend outside of the banks themselves.
00:06And you have to make sure that the cars that are parked looking on at the customers and so,
00:10if you have your security who are armed, just walk around the car park and so.
00:14I mean, you're bringing in millions and millions and billions of service charges and all that,
00:20well, extend service.
00:22And the banks really should take more responsibility to make sure who are watching their customers and so.
00:26Government Senator David Narkid is calling on all commercial banks to do a better job at securing their premises and
00:33to customers
00:34after his vehicle was broken into in a Cascade grocery car park, shortly after he left RBC in Maraval.
00:42I was followed from the bank, no doubt, because in the footage you can see they were following me
00:48and they drove past and then they came back running down.
00:54I think this calls upon, because from my investigation, this has happened several times,
00:59especially when people bank at RBC in Maraval.
01:02The senator says he's expecting quick action on the part of the police.
01:06I like to think of how my father would have reacted to this.
01:10He would have just said, after two days, he wouldn't have called me immediately.
01:13He would have just said, after two days, have you called the people yet?
01:17That is all.
01:18So you expect that the police would be able to apprehend these persons within two days, is what you're saying?
01:23I don't know if within two days, but I expect that we have the CCTV footage.
01:28I saw it myself.
01:32We have an eyewitness.
01:33So I think this should be apprehended.
01:37I've always said I'm willing to give the shirt off my back in charity for anybody,
01:43for all our disadvantaged people, but I don't accept to be violated by anybody.
01:49And I see it as a violation, and I want to see these people apprehended.
01:54Roughly $10,000 in cash, a Christian Dior perfume valued at $2,600.
02:01Bank cards and keys to his home were among the items taken from the vehicle.
02:07You had a lot of valuables in the vehicle.
02:10Does that reflect a sense of comfort on your part, perhaps, because it really was a lot of valuables in
02:15your vehicle?
02:15When you say a lot of valuables, I mean, I had money, I had money, because at the end of
02:19every month,
02:20as you might know, I do a lot of charity for all the communities up in the east-west corridor.
02:26So that was for that.
02:27So that goes, and when they do hampers and give people who need money for their utilities, whatsoever,
02:34okay, that's between me and Allah.
02:36They took that away.
02:38But the other valuables are what?
02:40Like, what I have, the documents is the most important thing.
02:42That I have, I have documents from Lebanon, documents from places that I have, keys for houses and that is
02:48it.
02:49Senator Narkid says he feels fine following the incident,
02:52which he describes as, quote, par for the course.
02:56Crime is a problem in the country, there's no doubt about that.
03:00But, you know, people will say, you know, look at, you know, it's a UNC senator.
03:06It doesn't matter.
03:07This is a crime.
