Pro-Vigil’s 3 New Arrests

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

Arrested 3 trying to steal rims – K9 unit used

This mobile surveillance unit is one of many sitting around this apartment complex and is being monitored live from Pro-Vigil’s Central Surveillance Center. This group of guys looked suspicious to the Remote Guard, so he activated a siren that caused the guys to leave. A short time later the vehicle returned determined to steal the wheels off of the car. This time the Remote Guard contacted the authorities and two of the individuals were immediately taken into custody, while the third had to find out the hard way by testing a K9 unit.

Arrested and Towed

This construction project utilizes Pro-Vigil’s mobile surveillance units and live monitoring to deter and sometimes capture criminals. This vehicle entered the protected property and was “just parking” when the Remote Guard dispatched the police. The individual was arrested on warrants and his vehicle was impounded. Wrong place to “park”.

Arrested at Electrical Service Center

This property has fixed IP cameras being hosted and monitored at Pro-Vigil’s Central Surveillance Center. This intruder was identified by a Remote Guard and the authorities were notified. The intruder was found next door and apprehended after reviewing the video and making a positive ID.

Appeared to be a Worker at first!

This van entered a commercial construction project after hours. The construction security is provided by Pro-Vigil’s mobile surveillance units, and remotely monitored at a Central Surveillance Center. Though this vehicle looks like a contractor, there was not planned site activity, so the Remote Guard activated a siren and strobe combo secured to the mobile surveillance unit and the van decided to promptly leave the site.

Residential Project Has Visitors

This is a large residential project that hired Pro-Vigil to place mobile surveillance units and monitor them remotely from one of PV’s Central Surveillance Centers. These two kids wondering around the site quickly left as soon as a Remote Guard activated a prerecorded warning message over the public address system on-board the mobile surveillance unit.

Have to find a new Hangout

This homeless man was probably just looking for a place to sleep, but this construction project is dangerous and could harm him or others. Pro-Vigil placed a mobile surveillance unit outside the property and remotely monitors the cameras for this type of activity. As soon as the Remote Guard saw the intruder, he activated a sire and a strobe and the man left quickly.
