Sonitrol Pacific Detection Yields Arrest of School Vandals

Tacoma, WA, July 24, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Police arrested three people suspected of breaking into a Washington high school to vandalize it July 12 after Sonitrol Pacific detected threatening activity.

The security guard arrived at the school just as three people jumped into a car and sped away. He gave responding police officers a thorough description of the vehicle. Police officers located the vehicle, pulled it over and took the three suspects into custody.
