FNM candidate for Fox Hill claims latest office break-in caused $8k in damages

Dr. Nicholas Fox, the Free National Movement (FNM) candidate for Fox Hill, expressed dismay after his Collins Avenue medical clinic was vandalized over the weekend, marking the second such incident this year. The clinic suffered approximately $8,000 in damages as vandals shattered glass, overturned files, and caused widespread destruction. Police arrested a 25-year-old suspect early Saturday morning after he attempted to flee through a hole in the roof. A backpack containing coins, food, and a cellphone, believed stolen during a previous break-in, was recovered. Dr. Fox described the attack as senseless, noting that nothing of significant value was taken but that the clinic was left in disarray. ‘Everything that could break was broken,’ he said. The vandalism disrupted operations after security camera and internet wires were severed, forcing staff to process patients manually. Despite the challenges, the clinic served over 100 patients the following day. Dr. Fox emphasized that the clinic has since resumed full operations and implemented enhanced security measures. While he could not confirm whether the incident was politically motivated, he reaffirmed his commitment to providing quality healthcare to the Bahamian people. The clinic was previously targeted in July, shortly after Dr. Fox was ratified as the FNM’s Fox Hill candidate. That earlier break-in resulted in the theft of three iPads containing sensitive patient data and over $2,000 in cash. The stolen devices were later remotely wiped by the clinic’s electronic medical records provider.
