A suspect scaled the fence, forced open a sliding door, and ripped a flat screen off the wall. He had it staged by the gate, ready to walk away with it.
He never got the chance.
The moment an alarm signal came through, Atlas Security Armed Response Officer Bravo 22 was dispatched and on scene within minutes. Positive break-in confirmed. The suspect bolted, vaulting the fence into the dark.
He didn't get far.
Bravo 22 chased him down on foot and caught him on the corner, two streets away. Apprehended. The flat screen recovered and back where it belonged.
Within the hour, Bravo 22, Bravo 15, Bravo 10 and Bravo 127 had the scene locked down, the client contacted, and the situation fully under control.
This is what an armed response team that doesn't hesitate looks like. Signal received. Suspect caught. Goods recovered. All before sunrise.
A suspect thought he'd slip in and out under the cover of darkness. Our team made sure it was his worst decision of the night.

Factories, warehouses and commercial premises that are closed after hours are increasingly being targeted by opportunistic criminals who know these sites are often quiet and unattended. During several recent incidents, our Control Room has experienced difficulty contacting registered keyholders when alerts are activated. In some instances, phones go unanswered or no keyholder is available to attend site when access is required. This significantly slows the response process and in high-risk incidents, delays increase exposure and risk.
