Houston, Texas – Thief Tries to Steal Construction Lumber

On 4/5/22 at 4:05am, the SentriForce live video surveillance team was alerted of unauthorized activity by an unknown individual. The individual was seen trespassing into a construction jobsite by squeezing through the gap of the fence.

The suspect was seen moving several pieces of construction lumber and placing it in between the fence.

The live video surveillance team engaged the suspect with audible alarms and voice broadcast.

The suspect realized they are under surveillance and immediately modified their behavior. The suspect is observed exiting the jobsite without taking any construction materials.

The live video surveillance team dispatched the Houston Police Department for further investigation.

Upon completion of the investigation, the Houston Police Officers placed the construction lumber back inside the property.

 

Construction managers, superintendents, and jobsite contractors have a lot that they are responsible for, such as scheduling workers, ordering materials, and ensuring projects finish on-time.

The last thing they need is a thief steal construction lumber or randomly losing other essential material and equipment overnight. Construction theft is not small matter as it is much more than a nuisance. It can slow down the progress of the construction, affect the bottom line, and create a chain of frustration that is felt from top to bottom.
