Billboard braces are being reported stolen from multiple billboards across the nation
Concerns are mounting following a series of thefts targeting billboard structures across Antigua and Barbuda, with the latest incident reported along the Queen Elizabeth Highway.
Two braces were recently removed from Antigua.news billboard located along the busy roadway. Similar reports have since emerged from other locations, suggesting that multiple billboards have been tampered with in what appears to be a pattern of deliberate theft.
The stolen braces are not decorative items. They are a critical component of the structural support system that keeps billboards secure, particularly during high winds and heavy rain. Their removal poses a potential safety risk to motorists, pedestrians, and nearby properties.
Billboard owners say the thefts are causing unnecessary financial strain and raising serious public safety concerns. In addition to replacement costs, compromised structures may require immediate reinforcement or temporary removal to prevent accidents.
There is speculation that the braces may be reused as building materials.
The matter is expected to be reported to the relevant authorities, and members of the public are being encouraged to report any suspicious activity around billboard structures.
