Because of
its size and weight most people tend to envision their garage door as
impenetrable. This is true to a certain
degree. A properly installed and properly maintained garage door can provide
the needed extra security your family deserves.
Unfortunately the majority of people do not take the precautions needed
to ensure that their garage door functions properly.
As of late
it seems that a rash of robberies has taken place in Fullerton, California.
Police believe that a man in Fullerton has been going around targeting
residents with open garage doors. The
suspect is believed to have committed six robberies in the area in as many
weeks. Police were called Tuesday night
on august 19th at around 9PM to a robbery taking place in the 1200
block of Crestview Drive where a resident was injured.
The 17 year
old who did not want to be identified was interviewed by NBC4. Sporting a bandage on his forehead the young
man claims to have pushed and shoved to the ground by the assailant. The assailant was apparently after money
shouting at the boy “I don’t care where it is, give me my money”. According to the young man the assailant was
brandishing a firearm which the he cocked back the hammer on before putting it
to the back of the young man’s head.
In another
case a man entered a couple’s home through their partially open garage door on
the 1500 block of Avenida Selva. This
case was also very similar to the first.
The assailant appeared to come in through an open garage door
brandishing a hand gun and demanding money.
All in all
three crimes were committed in the last week.
All which could have been prevented if there was more emphasis on garage
door safety. Remember to always keep
