Unfortunately, much like years previous, auto dealerships across the US and Canada have faced ongoing threats of trespassing, burglary, vandalism, and theft. Targets range from the vehicles themselves, to titles, paperwork, electronics, keys, and car parts. Oklahoma, like many other parts of the US, has seen numerous incidents- including a trespassing at an auto dealership in Moore where thieves made off with 7 vehicles, broke into the building, and stole keys, titles, and several thousand dollars’ worth of additional haul.
Trespassing at auto dealerships can be the forerunner of a variety of detrimental activity. This is why it’s so important to have a comprehensive security strategy in place that allows for quick intervention when there’s suspicious activity on your lot. In this Arrest of the Month video, our team of security specialists spotted suspicious activity- and the resulting arrest revealed the intruder had multiple open warrants:
Just after 4:00 am, our team of remote monitoring operators spotted a suspicious intruder on the property of an Oklahoma auto dealership client. In an area on the property that was under construction, the suspicious person had slipped through the fence and entered the restricted area. Police dispatchers were contacted due to the nature of the activity, and officers arrived onsite within a few minutes, locating the individual and taking them into custody. A follow up with responding officers revealed that the intruder had multiple open warrants and had been transported to jail.
Trespassing at Auto Dealership and Other Unwanted Activity Can Be Deterred with Proactive Live Video Monitoring
Because auto dealerships are faced with a unique array of security challenges- from safeguarding high-value vehicles to ensuring a welcoming and safe environment for customers and employees- traditional security measures, like passive, unmonitored cameras or reactive alarm systems are often insufficient. They only alert you after an incident has occurred, leaving your inventory and property vulnerable.
