Trespassing Pair Use Force to Access Ontario Multifamily Residential Building Lobby

As Ontario’s city centers continue to rebound from the global pandemic, the resurgence of activity brings renewed concerns about property and violent crime in multifamily residential communities. The post-pandemic world sees more people returning to work and daily activities, unfortunately paralleled by an increase in criminal activities. Despite a historic low in property crime rates in 2020, recent trends indicate a halt in this decline, posing significant challenges for commercial and multifamily real estate owners and operators, particularly in high-rise condos in urban areas. 

The property crime rate is a critical concern for these stakeholders. While non-violent crime has slightly decreased across the province, the reduction is not substantial enough to eliminate worry. The alarming rise in organized crime across Canada further exacerbates these concerns. The uncertainty surrounding the number of criminal groups and the difficulties faced by law enforcement in preventing and prosecuting these crimes leave property owners and operators bearing the financial burden, a daunting task in the current unpredictable economic climate. 

The increased importance of building security cannot be overstated. Common areas in condominium towers, which include amenities such as vehicle parking, storage lockers, and bicycle facilities, necessitate robust security measures. Effective security not only protects these assets but also contributes significantly to the overall safety of the building and its residents. 

Property owners can no longer rely solely on the perceived safety of their neighborhoods. Proactive steps are essential in safeguarding their investments and ensuring the security of their buildings and residents. This situation underscores the need for comprehensive security strategies and the adoption of innovative measures to combat the evolving landscape of property and violent crime in Ontario’s multifamily residential communities. 

At approximately 11:45 p.m., Stealth security professionals observed two individuals accessing an Ontario multifamily residential property lobby by force, leading the monitoring operators to immediately contact local law enforcement. Officers arrived onsite quickly, making contact with the pair outside of camera view. A follow up call from police dispatch confirmed that the individuals were apprehended and taken into police custody.
