Burglars break in through rooftops

Burglars are going to great heights to break-into Albany businesses, through the roof. Business-owners along West Broad Avenue reported to police at least three different attempted roof-top burglaries in the past week.

The latest roof-top break-in police responded to is at Daddy Records on West Broad Avenue. It happened sometime late Thursday night to early Friday morning.

The burglars entered through the roof and made a big hole in the ceiling to gain access to the store. It is the same way burglars entered into the 229 Fashions store, right up the road.

The owner of 229 Fashions Tim Shelton says it's not easy starting a business in Albany from the ground up. And the challenges are magnified when criminals strike.

"It hurt you know because I work real hard.

We were broken into last week the one good thing though is the Interwatch Security system picked this up. We were back home in the UK and got the alert about 3am. So we logged on and saw the little blighter in our home. We downloaded the video evidence and presented this to the local police. We are waiting to here back from them

Surveillance has become an important method of detecting conspicuous person that has a potential danger to everyone, and preventing such of doing their goal toward terror. Such surveillance will be impossible without the help of high end CCTV cameras, that's monitoring non-stop around the clock.

Make sure all outside entrances -- front, back and side -- have good lighting so burglars can't easily hide.The security alarm consultantsmust consider the roof tops also.

Home Security Savvy said...

A good motion detector could have really helped out in this situation.

Two break-ins in a similar area mean that the criminals should both occur on both of the premises' security cameras. Should be trackable.

The other businesses in the area should be stocking up on their Security Products as soon as possible.

Statistics today, shows that a burglary now occurs every 14 seconds. Statistics indicate that more than 65 percent of all annual burglary cases take place at private residences. Most of these burglaries actually occur while the owners are at home, exposing them and their families to a serious threat. So why wait until after your home has been robbed to get a security system installed?

Burglars are figuring out new ways to break into our homes. In my case, I find that installing motion detectors in my house is extremely helpful. There are affordable wireless motion detectors that are worth buying.

Investigation Services said...

Common alarm systems are easily bypassed by seasoned burglars, so make sure that you have a good second line of defense. Having motion detectors installed in a room or area that you wish to protect is a good option. These home security system components are not obtrusive and are usually installed in ceilings. They are turned on only when needed, and are great when going away for a while.

CCTV informs the criminal fraternity that you are serious in your efforts to protect your home and family. The more effort a burglar has to put in to gaining access to your home the less likely they are to proceed.

This can happen anywhere and installing of monitoring systems helps a lot in minimizing the chances by maximum. I hope Tim installs alarm system with monitoring services and be tension free.

What you really need is are some IP cameras installed as well. If they get in then their caught on camera and there's nothing they can do about it. In fact you could watch them do it on your iPhone.

I am feeling sorry for Tim and respect her hard work. But why risk business and life with ignoring small inclusion. Install a security system which are affordable and offered by LifeShield Security. Kits are very affordable and you can monitor the activities from anywhere you want.

You can never be too safe with these things, especially around the holidays!

Installing a good security system that not only protects you, but keeps you in constant communication is essential. I recommend wireless intercom systems so that you can always be prepared. They can get expensive sometimes, but they're well worth it.

Recently a neighbor's home was broken into through their garage door. Having never thought about the garage door being vulnerable I went online and found too many youtube videos showing exactly how thieves do it in seconds.

I thought, oh this is great now wanna-be thieves know how it's done in six seconds or less using a simple coat hanger. Freaked-out,I began looking for a way to secure my own garage door that's affordable, simple to install and most importantly effective.

Found all sorts of solutions like the plastic zip ties plus many overly expensive ones. Then I came across the Garage Door Guard Dawg. This was the better solution for me. It was so easy to install and once installed I don't have to do anything more...no codes, buttons, timers, replacement parts, etc.

Though I have home security to my home, the Garage Door Guard Dawg adds that layer of security. Like to share their website if I may.... http://gdguarddawg.com
