‘TSMC Village’ Arizona Repeatedly Targeted by Hoodlums
A new Arizona community built with an influx of TSMC engineers in mind is being targeted by thugs, thugs and unscrupulous dealers, according to the report.Taiwan’s economic newspaper Last month, residents of TSMC Village A and TSMC Village B said there were at least two days when they were disturbed by criminal activity. Popular targets for criminals seem to be residents’ homes and cars.
TSMC engineers who migrated to the United States to work at a new factory in Arizona are being encouraged to move to new construction communities by local construction firms that have worked with semiconductor giants. But according to UDN, not all is well with the new “TSMC Village.” I’ve extracted the following chronology for May from his UDN report on the event (machine translation).
- May 19 – TSMC Village B: Property burglary reported.
- May 26 – TSMC Village A: 7 cars damaged during the evening, some successfully broken in
- Date unknown – Engineer robbed
According to our understanding of the UDN report, the May 19th incident appears to have been the decision of a person in the now-vacant location to stay illegally.
The events of May 26th have become clearer. A video shared by a source shows the three teens walking around at night. These individuals are accused in the copy of breaking into TSMC Village A, smashing windows and prying open seven car doors. It’s not clear if the damage was pure vandalism or an attempt to steal or loot a car.
The timing of the robbery of the Taiwanese engineer was not disclosed by the sources.
These aren’t the most heinous crimes, but they can demoralize new residents. Moreover, the motivation for many people to migrate is the desire for a better life. Naturally, if residents migrate all the way from Taiwan, the post-migration dissonance will be even greater.
UDN spoke with several engineers living in TSMC Village, and they seem to be most angry with the management company about the lack of security in these communities. Residents have been asked to be more vigilant about their homes and property. The report suggests that Taiwan’s gated communities are safer, but TSMC Village’s “relatively bleak” location could make it difficult to enclose community living areas. I also admit that
TSMC has reportedly already found it difficult to hire engineers for its Arizona plant, and reports of crime at TSMC Village would not be welcome.
