At 03h05 this morning, Marshall Security’s Emergency Dispatch Centre observed a male suspect behaving suspiciously near property boundaries through street AI (Artificial Intelligence) cameras. The suspect, carrying a bag, was spotted on Chelsea Drive AI (Artificial Intelligence) cameras, where he was seen walking close to walls and later running.
Recognizing the potential threat, our Emergency Dispatch Centre immediately dispatched Armed Response Officers to the scene. With a detailed description of the suspect and his direction of flight, the team was able to track him down. Within 10 minutes, the suspect was spotted on Old Mill Way. Upon seeing our vehicles, the suspect attempted to flee but was quickly apprehended.
A search of the suspect’s bag revealed housebreaking tools, including a bolt cutter, shifting spanner, and screwdriver, suggesting the intent to commit a burglary.
