Suspect Using Boosted Scooter to Boost Items from California Apartment Community Caught

Multifamily residential communities are frequent targets for criminals. From thefts, to vandalism, to burglaries, and violent criminal activity as well. This means that those in the multifamily residential community industry need high-performance and cost-effective security solutions that both they and their residents can rely on. 

Thieves can be creative when executing their crimes- and some ideas work out for them better than others. In this Arrest of the Month video, a thief had big plans for their boosted scooter: to steal goods from a California apartment community and make a quick getaway. Unfortunately for them, what they weren’t scooting away from was Stealth’s cameras. 

At just after 3:00 a.m., Stealth security professionals with an eye on a California apartment community spotted something suspicious on live video surveillance. An individual appeared to be hiding a dolly behind a dumpster, before using their electric scooter to enter the parking facilities and take multiple items from the property. Local law enforcement was immediately contacted and arrived on scene quickly, taking the boosted scooter booster into custody. 

Live Video Monitoring Can Help Catch Criminals in the Act 

Maintaining a secure environment for your multifamily community, onsite personnel, and residents is about more than just the safety of people and their property. It is also about protecting your bottom line. Property owners and operators know that criminal activity that goes unresolved or becomes chronic can damage a multifamily community’s online reputation, inspire residents to seek housing elsewhere, and expose them to significant liability risks.  

Stealth’s live video monitoring for multifamily residential properties can help deter and disperse criminal activity as it happens. With cutting edge analytics-based cameras strategically placed in key areas throughout the property and customized to meet your specific needs, highly trained security professionals monitoring surveillance in real time, and the ability to take immediate action using onsite audible warnings or contacting local law enforcement, Stealth’s live video monitoring is a proactive solution.
