As you know, our stores, warehouses and retread plants have been the targets of numerous successful break-ins. > >   > > We recently installed Sonavision in our Abbotsford retread compound in an effort to stop our break-in activity. Last Friday night your system detected an intruder inside the perimeter. The police were dispatched with the K 9 unit and were able to catch the guy in the act with video to back up the arrest. Our old alarm system basically worked as a warning device to let the crooks know they had been detected and gave them the time to run before security or police could arrive. The thieves were usually able to run with some product, and always left expensive damage to locks, gates and fences. It is finally great to catch one so he can spread the word to his fellow crooks to stay away. > >   > > Please pass our thanks on to your team and the Abbotsford police department for the great work. > >   > > **Norm Schmidt**, Vice President Operations, Kal Tire > >   > >   > > [![Commercial Security Experts!](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/325814/335ec160-42df-44cf-82cb-73602fc0cbac.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/325814/335ec160-42df-44cf-82cb-73602fc0cbac) **Tags: ** [Automotive, ](https://www.sonitrolwesterncanada.com/feedback/topic/automotive) [Distribution Centres, ](https://www.sonitrolwesterncanada.com/feedback/topic/distribution-centres) [Retail](https://www.sonitrolwesterncanada.com/feedback/topic/retail) ![Joe Wilson](https://www.sonitrolwesterncanada.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2024%20Website/Images/joe-blog-avatar.png?width=50&height=50&name=joe-blog-avatar.png) Post by [Joe Wilson](https://www.sonitrolwesterncanada.com/feedback/author/joe-wilson) Jul 26, 2006 5:27:00 PM We provide our customers with the best commercial security solutions and quality service backed by our unique Guarantee and Commitment to Service.
