This month’s newsletter featured a virtual shopping center security guard testimonial.
“Stealth live video surveillance has deterred crime numerous times on my property and resulted in multiple arrests. It can pay for itself on the first incident from copper thieves to dumpster divers. Our shopping center is significantly safer for tenants and their customers, which increases my property value.” – Texas Shopping Center Owner
August Catch of the Month: Rooftop Trespasser Arrested with Helicopter
This retail Texas property is a Stealth Monitoring virtual shopping center security guard client. The following commercial sites unfortunately are not. These shopping centers had live security guards, not remote security monitor staff, and suffered two fatalities. Both shopping centers were located in Houston, Texas.
Two suspects approached a shopping center security guard from behind. The security guard sat inside his marked security vehicle. The suspects were armed with an AK-47 and a pistol. Houston Police said that the suspects shot the security guard from behind. The suspects stole the night security guard’s service weapon and left the shopping center. The guard was pronounced dead at the scene.
Houston, Texas detectives arrested one of the suspects involved. The second suspect is still at large and is wanted for capital murder. NBC 2 reported that the second suspect may have fled to Mexico.
The second fatality occurred at a shopping center in northwest Houston. A business inside the shopping center appeared vacant and had a “for lease” sign. If someone entered from the back, they would have seen a row of gaming machines. A representative from Houston Police Department Homicide said that the affected business was only open a few months.
The suspect entered the game room in the afternoon. The armed suspect attempted to rob the game room. The shopping center security guard on duty got into a shootout with the armed suspect. The suspect and the shopping center security guard were hit.
The gunman left the Houston shopping center with an accomplice in a getaway car. The shopping center security guard died at a Houston, Texas hospital.
