BUCHANAN, Liberia — The SIB Bank branch in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County, was reportedly burglarized during the night of Monday, August 17, with a security guard allegedly found in a helpless condition after suspected criminals reportedly broke into the facility.

The reported incident was discovered early Tuesday morning, August 18, after residents and onlookers noticed unusual activity around the bank. The circumstances surrounding the alleged break-in remain unclear as authorities have yet to provide a detailed account of what occurred.

According to preliminary reports from community members, a security guard assigned to protect the bank was found at the facility in an apparently incapacitated condition. The guard was allegedly injected by the suspected criminals during the incident.

However, the claim that the guard was injected has not been independently verified, and it remains unclear what substance was allegedly used, who administered it, or whether the guard sustained any other injuries.

The reported burglary has sparked concern among residents of Buchanan, particularly over the security measures protecting financial institutions in the city. The incident could raise further questions about how the suspected criminals gained access to the bank and whether money or other valuables were taken.

Authorities are expected to conduct an investigation into the reported incident, including examining the bank premises, speaking with witnesses and determining the circumstances surrounding the condition of the security guard.

The incident remains under investigation, and this is a developing story. Further details are expected as authorities and bank officials provide additional information.
