Blue Security’s Control Center received a call from a client who noticed suspicious activity on her security cameras. She reported that a suspect was seen entering the bushes opposite her property and provided a detailed description of the individual involved.

Our Armed Response Officer (ARO) responded swiftly, heading in the direction indicated by the client. The ARO successfully spotted the suspect and attempted to stop him. However, the suspect fled the scene, running towards nearby bushes.

The officer immediately gave chase, managing to apprehend the suspect. During the arrest, the suspect resisted and pulled out a knife, attempting to harm the officer. Fortunately, the officer was able to overpower the suspect and secure him by handcuffing him.
