Busy Weekend. Strong Response. Real Results
December 15, 2025
Weekends are usually our busiest periods and while we did see a spike in incidents across the city, especially with businesses being targeted, the real story is how well our teams performed. Despite increased activity, our armed response teams were on fire, securing arrests in areas like Lorraine, Deal Party and Summerstrand. Earlier this weekend, Atlas Security’s Control Room received a distressed phone call reporting suspected copper cable theft and damage to infrastructure in the Lorraine area. Atlas Security Armed Response Officer Bravo 20, while conducting routine patrols, observed a male walking with a large amount of cables.
