Sonitrol Pacific Security and Alarms
Special Thanks To: Snohomish County Sheriff’s Department
Date: October 1, 2009
Location: Little White Church on the Hill
Halloween hijinks put four in handcuffs
Sheriff’s deputies responded in force to the call from a Sonitrol Pacific operator and took four suspects into custody after the audio security system at the Little White Church on the Hill detected suspicious activity November 1.
Operator Kris Etheridge received the activation of the church’s audio sensors and heard tapping noises followed by sounds of faint yelling just before 4 a.m. She immediately called the sheriff’s department, then contacted a representative from the church to let them know what was happening.
The church’s representative arrived to find seven patrol cars and a police dog on scene, and four suspects in handcuffs on the ground.
The suspects did not get inside the church, nor did they cause any damage, and the people from the church decided not to press charges. The four were released from custody.
The event demonstrates the power of audio security sensors monitored by Sonitrol Pacific’s expert operators. Earlier this year, in April, five suspected burglars were arrested trying to break into the Little White Church on the Hill. Audio security sensors caught that incident as well.
