Sarasota, FL, March 09, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Police arrested a man for loitering and prowling on the rooftop of a local business after Sonitrol of Sarasota reported real time video of the suspect.

Central Station Supervisor Murshid Normand received security alerts at 10:56pm on February 21, 2011. He contacted the Sarasota County Police department, notified them of the alarm, and that Sonitrol had real-time video of the subject. Officers arrived on scene and surrounded the building.
