Digicel is advising the public of a new incident of vandalism at one of its network sites in Catherine Hall, Montego Bay, where critical batteries were discovered to be stolen on Monday morning.

The site had recently been repaired as part of post–Hurricane Melissa restoration efforts.

This latest attack comes days after Digicel CEO Stephen Murad addressed Parliament last Wednesday, warning that repeated acts of vandalism continue to undermine the company’s ability to restore services quickly across the island.

The theft at the Catherine Hall location has now stalled restoration progress, forcing Digicel teams to divert resources to redo work that had already been completed.

The incident has been reported to the Jamaica Constabulary Force.

Digicel is again urging members of the public to report any suspicious activity around network sites and fibre routes, as these acts directly delay restoration efforts and affect connectivity for surrounding communities. Reports can be made to the Jamaica Constabulary Force or via Digicel’s dedicated WhatsApp line at 876-355-5000.
