Brazen Break-in At My Office

[TheWaterbug]

This extremely bad criminal yanked the panic bar right off the door frame (being fixed and reinforced now ) and threatened my employee before walking off with a bag full of camera equipment:


He then threw the very expensive camera to the ground and walked off with a $100 tablet that he later smashed and threw away.

He looked right into one security camera, and left a big handprint on the door as he left. As I said, not a very good criminal.

Police took a report, but there's not much they can do these days.

This guy deserved to be popped in the head. An animal that doesn't deserve to walk amongst humans.

 

[samplenhold]

So why didn't Brian answer? Why didn't the employee immediately call the police?

That was a violent invasion. He said he would kill the employee. That is a terroristic threat. The police should be treating this more than just a report.

 

[TheWaterbug]

Yeah, I've talked to everyone involved about the proper response to a future incident like this. GTFO out of harm's way and call 911. Don't worry about losing a camera bag.

Might want to get a cam set up with a tighter look at the door. Do get a pretty good face shot @ ~1:51.

Watching this video makes me extremely infuriating with the criminal and also a little disappointed with how the employee react to the threats by the scumbag. He seems like in shock and don't know what to do.......

 

[Starglow]

That's just crazy...!! Fortunately the perp didn't break the glass or physically harm anyone, but that would have been a justified shooting if anyone inside was armed since display of force and verbal threats were involved. I wouldn't just let this slide if I were you....that guy needs to face criminal charges for what he did.

Yeah....if that dude was actually armed the employee would have been shot dead while he looked for Brian instead of just exiting through the back door.

 

[IAmATeaf]

So where the f was Brian?

On a serious note was the front door locked as it looked like he forced it open and really easily?

 

[TheWaterbug]

Brian was in the warehouse, with music playing, so he couldn't hear.

The panic bar is screwed into the door frame, and the screws just snapped right off. I'm having the door repaired and reinforced this afternoon.

I'm also having panic buttons installed in several places so that employees can trigger the alarm immediately.

 

[DavidW]

Hopefully Brian will still be allowed to listen to music while working in the warehouse.

Maybe having a monitor installed out there just showing the entryway

I'm thinking the perp is lucky to be pulling that stunt in CA and not in a few others where the response could have been very different.......but he likely knows that.

 

[garycrist]

Now in Texas, when the cops show up, together in harmony everyone alive will say,
"Bless his heart"!

Yup:

 

[looney2ns]

You need to take a good self defense class or three.

 

[CCTVCam]

If they don't catch him with those mugshots there's no hope for any of us.

 

[Keizer]

We have cameras with built in LED lighting. It's high time we have cams with built in 9mm cannons.

 

[Parley]

Round up the usual suspects.

 

[CCTVCam]

10mm and he wouldn't be getting up. Mind you not sure of the legality in CA. US is such a patchwork of different carry and self defence laws.
