With thieves continuing to focus their attention on residential parking facilities, it’s more important than ever to have effective security measures in place at your multifamily residential community.
Across the US and Canada, there remains a surge in “car hopping”, or browsing lots for open vehicles to steal from, as well as catalytic converter thefts and other vehicle-related criminal activity. See what happened when a pair targeting a California community protected by Stealth tried to break into resident vehicles.
At 3:05 a.m., two individuals were spotted by Stealth security professionals accessing a California multifamily community and weaving in and out between multiple vehicles. Stealth’s operators immediately activated onsite audible alarms and contacted onsite security. Due to the nature of the activity being observed, local law enforcement dispatch was also contacted. Officers responded quickly and were observed making contact with the individuals. One appeared to be taken into custody and a tow truck was later seen removing their vehicle.
Help Protect Your Residents and Their Property with Proactive Security
As long as people continue to store valuables in their vehicles, catalytic converters contain valuable metals, and thieves remain opportunistic, parking lots and garages will remain enticing targets for thieves looking for a quick and easy score.
Residents expect to be able to safely and securely park their vehicles in their communities, and ongoing issues with vehicle theft or vandalism can create significant reputational damage for multifamily communities, potentially driving out residents and impacting vacancy rates.
