AUSTIN – Suspect arrested on Construction Property for theft

The last thing you want after Christmas break is coming back to a construction project that is missing expensive heavy equipment. Unfortunately, theft is more active around the holidays as construction thieves know that most job sites will be inactive and unguarded. In this video, a criminal was determined to steal from a construction project with obvious signs of security anyways.

Last Minute Christmas Shopping Gone Wrong

2 days before Christmas, SentriForce detected unauthorized activity on the construction property. A suspect was seen attempting to move heavy construction equipment. SentriForce monitoring personnel engaged audible alarms and dispatched Austin Police Department to the location. The suspect proceeded to remain on the property.

Shortly after, police officers arrived at the location and made visual contact with the suspect. The suspect attempted to hide the heavy equipment and change the narrative of their activity, before they were arrested.

Police officers escorted the suspect to their vehicle for further questioning 

With SentriForce monitoring as a witness, along with video evidence, this criminal has no chance of lying their way out of this one.
