Bishop Charlesworth Browne, head of the Christian Ministries Center, is thanking God after what he called a \u201csobering\u201d encounter at a Village Walk ATM on Sunday night.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Browne told Antigua.news<\/em> he stopped to make a deposit around 7:30 p.m. despite feeling uneasy. \u201cAs soon as I was through, the door was busted open in a very aggressive way and a young man charged in,\u201d he said. Outside, two vehicles blocked him in before one man jumped out and fled when Browne reached for his phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though shaken, the clergyman was unharmed. He urged residents to avoid using ATMs after dark, citing rising reports of robberies. \u201cI thank God \u2014 it could have been worse. We need to be vigilant and watchful,\u201d he said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The incident has renewed calls for improved ATM security and stronger community vigilance at night.<\/p>
