Auto Dealership Gate-Hopper Apprehended by Baltimore Police

Auto dealerships are faced with unique security challenges, the most obvious being that their expensive, high-value inventory is kept outdoors where thieves and vandals can often easily access them, despite gates and fences meant to deter such activities. 

See what happened when a Baltimore-area thief hopped the gate at a local auto dealership, unaware that Stealth was watching.  

In the video above, just after 5:00 in the morning, alert Stealth security professionals took notice of an individual in the exterior parking lot of a Baltimore, MD auto dealership. After lurking near the dumpster enclosure for a moment, the suspicious person then was observed climbing over the gate to access the property. Moments later, the suspect appeared to steal an item from a vehicle that was parked inside the property. Local police dispatch was immediately contacted, and officers requested due to the nature of the activity Stealth’s security operators were observing. As police arrived on scene, they gave chase as the individual appeared to escape, but was ultimately apprehended and taken into police custody.   

Help Protect Your Dealership from Thieves and Criminals with Proactive Security 

With outdoor assets, irregularly shaped lots, and the need to allow afterhours browsing, auto dealerships are not your typical security scenario. Every dealership has its own security concerns- but as we saw in the above video, gates and other barriers aren’t enough to stop trespassers and other suspicious individuals from targeting your inventory. 

Live video monitoring is a proactive solution that not only helps prevent and deter criminal activity before, or in many cases, as it’s happening- but can be customized to meet the exact needs of your unique dealership’s layout and primary concerns. With trained security professionals monitoring your surveillance feeds that are trained to determine suspicious activity, onsite alarms can be sounded, or local law enforcement contacted when someone with nefarious plans is on your dealership property.
