Sonitrol Pacific Stops Attempted Burglary at Diner in Southeast Portland
Portland, OR (PRWEB) October 21, 2013 -- Around 1:30 a.m. on September 19th, an alarm monitoring operator at Sonitrol Pacific’s Verification Center received a security audio activation from a Southeast Portland diner. According to the Fox 12 Oregon report on September 19th, the intruder, William O’Donnell, was arrested and booked for burglary, criminal mischief, and theft.
After receiving an alarm from the front door and hearing clattering on the audio system, the Verification Center dispatched Portland Police and alerted the business’s emergency contact. The police arrived quickly and surrounded the diner. According to the Fox 12 report, a police dog chased O’Donnell out the back door, where he was apprehended by law enforcement. After inspecting the crime scene, it appears the intruder entered by prying open the kitchen window. Fortunately the police arrived before he could take anything or cause any major damage to the restaurant.
