ATMs Across Jamaica Left Residents Cashless Due to Ongoing Attacks

Over the weekend and into Monday morning, hundreds of bank account holders across Jamaica were left cashless, after their attempts to withdrawal funds from Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) were unsuccessful. 

The difficulties come just days after the attack on a Beryllium security team in Albion, St Thomas, which left one Beryllium security officer suffering from gunshot wounds.

Several ATMs within Portmore, St Catherine went offline bringing truth to what the residents say they have been complaining about since Saturday night.

In fact, on Monday, several residents from the sunshine city were stated they were left stranded due to a lack of cash in hand to pay their fares to go to work.

The ATMs where funds were unavailable in Portmore included those owned by Sagicor Bank, Scotiabank, National Commercial Bank and Jamaica National.  

Saturday's incident marks the fourth major attack on Beryllium security officers making cash deliveries to ATMs.
