A closer look at the live surveillance footage revealed no legitimate reason for the vehicle to be in the area, and the operator contacted local law enforcement due to the nature of the activity being observed. Responding officers arrived on site quickly and were observed making contact with one of the vehicle\u2019s occupants and escorting them from the area.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Help Deter Dumpster Divers and Other Unwanted Activity at Your Property with Proactive Security<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Every shopping and retail center is unique in their security challenges.
