Six men apprehended when our Sonitrol monitoring team dispatched Evansville Police Department to Harley-Davidson last spring have been linked to a St. Louis-based biker gang. These men are responsible for over $1 million in stolen motorcycles according to the United States Secret Service.
When Sonitrol’s impact activated audio alarm went off, our Central Station operators dispatched police. EPD’s K9 Officer Jeremy Matthews and his K9 partner located the suspects, and multiple EPD officers assisted with the arrests.
It is interesting to note as you read the article linked below that according to news sources, this same gang is possibly linked to another Harley-Davidson store in Tennessee, where just a few days before the arrests in Evansville, three motorcycles were stolen. Authorities have linked cases in Missouri and Illinois to the gang as well. While it is unfortunate that the thieves in those other states got away with stolen merchandise, we are so happy our local Harley-Davidson store chose Sonitrol to provide our innovative alarm technology to their business.
Securing our community and catching criminals is our mission. We are proud to work with police to secure commercial properties, and we know Sonitrol’s founder would enjoy this report. After all, Sonitrol alarms were created from the partnership of a police officer who was tired of responding to false alarms and his inventor friend. Together, they created alarms that would CATCH INTRUDERS before they could get away.
Way to go, EPD and our Sonitrol monitoring team. Call us for a FREE quote if you’d like to hear how we can protect your property at (800)444-1191. Read the news update about the biker gang here.
