Home Security News: Police Over $5 Million in Recover Stolen Property

Home security is important for a number of reasons. Recent police raids show just how important it is to protect your property.

Toronto, York Region and Niagara police recently raided several homes, arrested eight people and recovered a large amount of stolen property. 23 high-end vehicles and various other property valued over $5 million was recovered during the raids. This situation is an example of how home security technology is crucial.

Those arrested allegedly broke into homes and stole vehicles and other assets including designer clothing, purses and jewellery. Several imitation firearms were also found during the raids.

The three police regions came together to conduct the raids after a series of break-and-enters and vehicle thefts were reported in Toronto neighbourhoods. Canadian border agents also assisted with the investigation, discovering vehicles overseas.

As you can see, a break-in or robbery can be incredibly costly. This is why a focus on home security technology is so important. Criminals who break into properties in an attempt to steal property can cause damage, chaos and loss. In order to protect your property from these criminals, you’ll need to ensure that you have proper home security technology measures in place.

Protecting your Home from Break-ins with Home Security Technology

One of the best ways to protect your property and your belongings is to install a monitored home security system. Unlike a local alarm system, a monitored alarm system ensures that your home is watched over 24-hours a day by the trained staff at the central monitoring station. In the event of a break-in attempt, the central staff quickly react to the situation and inform the homeowner of what is going on so that the appropriate actions can be taken. Depending on your agreement with the monitoring company, the central station can even contact the authorities directly, making sure that police arrive on the scene quickly. This increases the level of home security at the property a great deal.

Video surveillance cameras make an excellent addition to a monitored home security system. Criminals understand the power of video surveillance footage. They know that it can be used to identify, arrest and even sentence them in connection with their crimes. Criminals do not want to be caught at the scene of a crime, but home security cameras ensure that this is exactly what happens. Video footage can place an individual at the scene and determine exactly what role he or she had in the crime.

Of course, properly installing these home security tools is critical. Failure to position and install home security technology properly can result in serious damage, loss and even injury.
