Industrial Catch of the Month Newsletter: Warehouse Thief Helps Himself & Is Arrested
A Los Angeles thief thinks this scrap metal center provides free takeout. It doesn’t. Thanks to Stealth live video monitoring, what it does serve up is a chance for up to three years for second degree burglary at a California county jail.
Watch the Video: Scrap Metal Burglar Arrested
At 8:42am a man gains unauthorized access to a scrap metal recycling property. The suspect rummages through an outdoor yard surrounded by wooden crates and loose parts. A video security operator activates an on-site speaker warning. The suspect remains on the industrial property. The remote video monitor calls the Los Angeles area local police.
The suspect makes several trips to pick up copper and other parts and take them away. The police arrive and inspect the site.
The thief starts to run when he sees a police officer behind a fence. He quickly gives up and surrenders himself to police custody. He jumps over the fence and lays down on the ground while being handcuffed.
