Vehicle Impounded: CCTV Success
General
Atlas Security’s Control Room received real time alerts from our CCTV operators regarding a stolen grey charcoal vehicle from Newton Park on 11 November 2025.
The vehicle was captured multiple times on CCTV cameras in Summerstrand and each time the Control Room immediately notified Atlas Security Armed Response Officers of its location.
While Bravo 16 was patrolling Second Avenue, Bravo 6 observed the vehicle exiting a local mall parking area and relayed the location and direction to the Control Room. Through seamless communication, our armed response officers safely intercepted the vehicle near a local service station.
This incident highlights the importance of CCTV integration and real time communication between the Control Room and our armed response officers, ensuring the vehicle was recovered safely and efficiently.
We commend our CCTV operators, Control Room personnel and armed response officers for their vigilance, efficiency, and professional conduct throughout this operation.
