A string of burglaries in San Fernando, California targeting small retail stores is costing business owners thousands of dollars. Security guards posted overnight could help stop many of these retail store break-ins.

Break-In Pattern Emerges. The most recent burglaries seem to have a pattern. According to police, burglars sometimes first break a window to see if an alarm goes off or the police arrive. If there is no alarm or police, they know it’s safe to go inside.

The recent string of break-ins have all occurred overnight and within a small radius. By the time police arrive, the criminals are long gone. They cover their faces making it difficult for security camera feeds to provide a description.

One security option for preventing these break-ins is for retailers to hire security guards to patrol the area. Security guards patrol overnight by foot or in marked vehicles. Just their presence may be enough to stop the criminals from acting. If the guards catch a burglary in progress, they contact law enforcement and detain the suspects.

Security guards are often well worth the investment. The latest burglary victim lost almost $7,000 when thieves stole the store’s safe. Security guard costs spread over several retail stores keep costs down for all.
