Sonitrol Pacific Detects Break-in Despite Unusual Point of Entry

Portland, OR, July 13, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Sheriff’s deputies arrested a man suspected bypassing the door and tearing through the sheet metal of a warehouse facility to get inside after suspicious activity was detected by Sonitrol Pacific July 11.

An expert Sonitrol Pacific operator received an impact-activated signal from the facility and listened to real-time audio to verify the nature of the sounds. She heard sounds indicative of movement and rummaging and immediately dispatched deputies.

Officers arrived at the scene to find evidence of a forced entry. They investigated the scene and brought in a K9 unit to look for possible suspects. While several deputies cleared the warehouse, others surveyed the nearby area and found a person of interest a block away. The individual’s response to questions raised suspicion. Officers matched the individual’s shoe to a footprint inside the warehouse and took him into custody.

According to a representative from the business, nothing was taken from the warehouse, but the suspect got inside by tearing away a large section of sheet metal near a door.
