Exactly, prevention needs to matter as much as arrests. Better monitoring and physical protection of critical structures should be part of the response.

Damage to a bridge is not a small matter; commuters and nearby residents carry the risk when vital infrastructure is compromised.

Arrests may be necessary, but the focus should not end with scavengers if gaps in monitoring allowed repeated access to bridge structures.

Authorities should inspect vulnerable bridges promptly, secure exposed areas, and publish clear reporting channels for residents who notice tampering.
