Why It Pays To Be Able
To See In The Dark - Surveillance Article
Some cameras are capable of
catching it all -
It was late at night but Jenny was in no hurry to get home. She and
her girlfriends drove to grocery store. As they shopped, Jenny felt
a tug on her sleeve. Jenny's eyes widened and Sarah shook her head
frantically, but Melissa ignored their whispered protests and winked
as she slipped a bottle of wine into her oversized purse.
Suddenly, the girls heard loud voices. They rushed to the end of the
aisle and saw a young man. He kept his head ducked and demanded that
the store clerk hand over the money in his register. The store was
being robbed!
The store clerk glanced uneasily up at the ceiling and the robber
followed his gaze. There was a camera overhead.
The robber cursed and ducked his head quickly. The girls clutched
hands and peeked around the edge of their aisle. The robber saw
switches on the wall and leaped forward to shut the lights off. He
told the store clerk to hurry with the money. But as the store
lights turned off, the robber could see that the camera was still
rolling. The robber cursed loudly again and ran out of the store.
The girls hesitated and then ran from the aisle toward the front of
the store. Suddenly, there was an announcement over the intercom. A
loud voice directed the store clerk to turn the store lights back
on. The voice stated that the police had been notified and not to
worry -- the camera had automatically switched to black & white in
the low-light conditions, so they had a good shot of the would-be
robber.
As they heard the announcement, a couple of employees came from the
back and approached the girls. Jenny and her friends were told that
they had also been caught on tape shoplifting the wine. The girls
were advised to return the wine and to leave their names and phone
numbers with the store clerk in case the police wanted to contact
them as witnesses.
