Sonitrol Pacific Detection Leads to 2 in Custody, 2 on the Run

Portland, OR, January 26, 2011 --(PR.com)-- An attempted burglary at a medical marijuana facility ended in arrest for two and a "dude, where’s my car moment" for two others thanks to a detection by Sonitrol Pacific’s security system January 23.

Operator Joe Orsborn heard threatening noises from The Hemp & Cannabis Foundation early Sunday morning and dispatched Portland Police.

Officers responded quickly and took two suspected burglars into custody. A review of non-monitored security video showed four people broke into the facility and police are using the images to locate the other two suspects. In making their get-away, the suspected burglars left behind two vehicles and Portland Police impounded both.

According to a representative from the organization, the burglars kicked in a panel on one of the warehouse doors to break-in. Thanks to Sonitrol Pacific’s impact-activated audio security system detecting the noise, Orsborn verifying the threat and Portland Police responding quickly, the intruders’ adventure ended there.
