Sharp Increase in Gun Violence, Do You Lock Up Your Guns in a Safe?

January 22nd, 2013

A recent shooting in a Houston area college has added to the long list of recent school shootings.

It is tragic to see how some individuals are choosing to express their anger and frustration by inflicting harm on others. Rather than be a reactive community, we need to work to be more proactive and take preventative actions to secure the guns we personally own. We are all responsible for our own – proper storage of our guns could make it more difficult for children to obtain these weapons.

What do you think we can do to reduce gun violence in the United States?

Banning high capacity guns and licensing gun owners could help, but this would take time for our government to set these laws into place. Until then, let’s keep those guns locked up! Are you in the market for a new gun safe? We have some of the toughest gun safes on sale at SecurityBase.

Group of Professional Thieves Arrested For Multiple Break-Ins

March 9th, 2012

For the majority of the time, if you have the necessary security equipment to protect yourself, your home or business, you’ll be able to keep thieves and attackers at bay. However, their will always be someway a thief will get around your security. That shouldn’t keep you from investing in high security because most of the time, it’ll save your valuables and even your life.

In rare cases though, there are professional thieves who know their way around security. They know how to stay under the radar without being caught. Usually, they’re in groups, to help guide each other along the way, and they always carry the right tools.

Recently, police have caught five suspects who were all involved in multiple thefts and break-ins. Police say that these burglars knew how to cut the exact wires to keep the alarms from going off. They even used some high-tech equipment such as scanners to keep a lookout on police transmissions. They also planned ahead of time for locations and a variety of different vehicles that were never registered to them. These experts were not kidding around and knew what they were doing. All their illegal activities kept stacking up, as they were able to raid businesses and storefronts all over South Shore. Eventually, everything traced right back to them and the police say that the charades are finally over.

The police have arrested three Weymouth residents and two other men from Hull last week by a multi-department task force that has solved three break-ins and could have solved many more. The men arrested were all in their early-mid 30’s. They were charged in thefts that were taken place last month in Quincy, Hingham and Brighton. “They’re still under investigation for a lot of crimes throughout our region,” said Marshfield police Capt. Phil Tavares, who also leads the Old Colony Police Anti-Crime Task Force.

In took about two weeks of police surveillance and investigation until they were able to arrest the individuals. The investigators said they broke into businesses after they have been closed and made sure to cover up any evidence of their break-in. They would seek out safes and standalone ATMs in the robbery.

“They have been doing this for quite some time, we believe,” Quincy police Lt. John Steele said. “In the past year they’ve been able to get well into six figures worth of cash out of various businesses throughout the South Shore and Boston area.”

On Feb. 17^th, the police say that the group broke their way into a men’s room of a gas station after it was closed. From there they were able to gain access to the office by busting down a wall where they broke into a safe and stole thousands of dollars, Steele said. As they smashed the window to escape was when the alarm triggered.

A little over a week after the 1^st burglary, two of the men in the group broke into a carwash where they destroyed electrical and alarm boxes and then raided the office and file cabinets. They also stole two guns that were contained inside a wall safe. Hingham police Sgt. Steven Dearth says that the two Beretta semiautomatic pistols were fully loaded still haven’t been recovered. They were stored inside a safe and were registered to an employee of the car wash, he said.

When the police arrested the group of men and searched the vehicle they were driving in, they found a pry bar, screwdrivers and a police scanner. One of the suspects already had a significant criminal track record with outstanding warrants for his arrest and was out on bail for charges.

It made it tough for police officials to track down these thieves as they traveled all over the place. They needed help and evidence from every task force that included towns from Quincy, Weymouth, Hingham, Marshfield, Rockland, Scituate, Hanover, Norwell, Braintree and State Police investigators assigned to the Norfolk County District Attorney’s office. Boston Police were involved in the arrest and Brighton break-in investigation. “This was an example of what law enforcement has had to do to keep up with the times,” Steele said. “Criminals now go all over the place, into all sorts of different jurisdictions, and this collaborative effort really made this whole thing come together.”

Over $500K Worth of Stolen Gems In Jewelry Store Heist

March 5th, 2012

Could you imagine a heist or criminal operation as critical as this? This is the type of scenario you see in movies. You could have never imagined this to happen in real life, but it did. That’s probably what frightens us the most, the fact that sometimes movies are never too far from becoming a reality.

The manager of Steve Quick Jeweler, Dana Sullivan, was surprised to what she saw when she arrived to work on Wednesday morning. Not your ordinary sighting at work, she discovered a large hole behind the store’s safe. As a jewelry business, they know to invest in a high security safe, but it didn’t matter in this case. The TL-30 Rated Safe weighed in at about two tons, almost impossible for any thief to remove it from it’s place without being caught. These types of safes can also withstand attacks from professional thieves and experts for at least 30 minutes. However, the thieves were able to find a weak spot.

Sullivan says, “Everything was fine until I opened the door and saw there was dust everywhere. I thought the ceiling had fallen in. I couldn’t figure out what was happening. I looked around the corner and saw the hole.” Steve Quick, the owner of the business for 25 years, believes it could have been an inside job. “They knew what they were doing and what’s got us spooked is that they circumvented our security system, which is state of the art, or they had some sort of information,” Quick said.

The thieves began their operation on Tuesday evening where they raided a sushi restaurant located right next door. From there, they were able to break down through the wall at the same location, where they could finally reach the safe. The safe was located in the back inside a small office, which is right next to Quick’s desk. “So they were able to stay under my desk, tunnel under, and if you go in back, you can see the hole in the bottom of the safe,” Quick said.

The burglars were able to remain undetected from surveillance because that was the only area not monitored by cameras or motion detectors. That issue was immediately resolved once they figured it out. Once they were able to cut into the bottom of the safe, they gained access to its bottom shelves. “And then these were some of the storage containers we used to keep the gems in, and they were able to crush these and pull them out through that small hole, all of them containing gems, there was a gem collection that we’ve been collecting for 25 years, so it’s a pretty devastating loss,” Quick said.

In light of the situation, Quick says that they are fully insured and that none of the jewelry stolen belonged to any of their customers. “Everything is accounted for, the only things that are missing belonged to us,” Quick said.

After a huge loss, the staff is now busy making sure to account for all the inventory of the merchandise. As disappointed and saddened Quick is, he says that it comes within the territory of being in the jewelry business. “We’ve had armed robberies, we do everything we can, we take security very seriously, but there are people out there, and once in a while they succeed,” he said. The Chicago police have yet to make any arrests in this case.
