AUTHORITIES are investigating the attempted arson of a vehicle owned by Bahamas Against Crime (BAC) Executive Director Rev C B Moss.

According to eye witnesses, at around 2:30 am yesterday a man was seen pouring a flammable substance onto the BAC’s car which was parked outside Rev Moss’ home.

The culprit then lit a paper torch, but was frightened away by neighbours in the area.

Rev Moss suggested that the incident may have been an attempt by someone to intimidate him, but he said he will not be deterred from continuing with the BAC’s work.

“I am determined to continue the fight to protect the inheritance and best interest of the Bahamian people.  I will not be discouraged nor frightened off by intimidating acts,” he said.

While the vehicle was not damaged, Rev Moss said crime is simply too high in the country.

“This act confirms that crime will eventually touch everyone unless it is arrested,” he said. “Crime will not go away, but it must be driven away. It will reach you wherever you are.

“The most effective way to fight crime is for residents to take a collective stance against it. As the saying goes, there is strength in unity.”
