Bečej is in shock after two men were arrested for two brutal robberies in Bačko Petrovo Selo. The police acted fast and arrested Z.K. (33) and K.K. (39) from the Bečej area, suspects of breaking into the yard of a 65-year-old resident late at night, beating him, and stealing a drill and a mobile phone. But wait, there’s more! A few days earlier, the same duo broke into the house of a 79-year-old man, physically attacked him, and took his wallet and a chainsaw. The stolen items were returned to their owners, and the suspects were held for 48 hours and will be brought before the prosecutor. This story shines a harsh light on the growing problem of violence and robberies in small Serbian towns, where elderly people increasingly feel unsafe in their own homes. The police claim they are ready and will continue to protect citizens, but the question remains: for how long will that be enough? Is this just the tip of the iceberg? As Bečej struggles with this issue, citizens ask — where is the safety? Got a story or opinion on this? Drop a comment and share your experience. Maybe together we can shake things up!
