Vinlec Firebombed
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the St Vincent Electricity Services Ltd (VINLEC) Thornley Myers says that he strongly doubts that the recent firebomb attack on the company’s headquarters annex has anything to do with an aggrieved customer.
Myers spoke to the SEARCHLIGHT yesterday in the wake of the attacks on the utility company’s building at Paul’s Avenue.
“I doubt it could have anything to do with an electricity bill, because the fuel surcharge is the lowest since 2009, so I don’t think it has anything to do with electricity,” stressed Myers, who added that Vincentians should be proud of VINLEC, as the electricity provider is a Vincentian company that was built by Vincentians.
“….people have a lot of pride in VINLEC, knowing it is owned by us Vincentians and nobody with a bill issue will take such an action,” said the CEO, who described the incidents as “baffling” and “disturbing”.
On two separate occasions between January 1 and January 4, Molotov cocktails were thrown at the west side of the newly constructed annex to the headquarters building.
The first attack was discovered on January 1 by a security guard, who made the unnerving discovery that someone had tried to set fire to the building by throwing bottles filled with flammable liquid, while making his usual security patrol.
