Hauppauge Metal Thieves Apprehended by Arrow Security!

March 28, 2012 - PRLog -- Long Island, NY - Arrow Security Patrol Supervisor Ron Smith, assigned solely to protecting Long Island New York’s Hauppauge Industrial Area (HIA), detained two men stealing scrap metal after they breached a perimeter fence on a client’s property. The guard immediately turned them over to the Suffolk County Police Department for prosecution.

Supervisor Smith performs random property checks and responds to alarms in the HIA. All Arrow personnel are fully dedicated to ensuring that client properties remain invulnerable to the advances of thieves. Various measures are taken, based on the specific security needs of clients, to make properties more suited for detecting illegal activities. Due to an ongoing surge of criminal activity in the area, the supervisor had been working closely with the client to make it harder for thieves prior to the attempt.

Current economic conditions across the country are causing sharp rises in criminal activity of all types. George M., a local Construction foreman recently commented, “People will rip out copper wires and pipes as soon as you install them if you don’t have effective security measures in place.” Dan Bowe, Senior Vice President of Operations at Arrow Security stated, “There has been an increase in the theft of metal as the downturned economy drives the value of scrap up, and increases unemployment rates at the same time. Even considering the fact that drug use and escapism is often the motivation behind thefts, they can also, at least partially, be blamed on the economy.”

The Patrol Supervisor was honored for his valiant efforts with a monetary reward as well as a gold-plated LED flashlight and official Arrow Security Certificate of Appreciation. AJ Caro, President and owner of the company stated, “This is one of the many incentives Arrow Security extends to our employees to help attract and maintain the best officers in the field. We keep our guards keenly motivated to perform with excellence.” He added, “Security professionals who can foresee problems and be proactive, as this supervisor did, are crucial in our industry. They keep our clients protected 24/7/365.”

Current predictions from local Police, as well as from experts around the US, call for rates of scrap metal theft, and almost all other types of crime, to continue to rise as the economy declines. Security is imperative to many industries that hadn’t had to worry about it in the past.
