SALESPERSON ROBBED GETTING OUT OF CAR
Houston, TX – October 19, 2010
After making four sales calls in the Galleria area, a salesperson from New York stopped at a restaurant.  As he was getting out of his car, a dark gray Nissan Maxima with a CarMax paper license plate pulled up behind him.  Two Hispanic males wearing hooded sweatshirts smashed the rear passenger window.  A third suspect displayed a knife, and took the line from the salesperson as well as his car keys and personal watch.

RECOMMENDATIONS:  Use evasive driving techniques after every sales call.

Physical Security — it’s often described as the “forgotten side of security” at some financial institutions, and yet it is a key element of an overall protection strategy.

And because the physical aspect plays a role in so many facets of security, from preventing bank robberies to foiling inside threats, risk assessment can be a challenge.

FBI Bank Crime Statistics 2009-2010:

According to the 2009-2010 FBI report, there are seven notable months in which most bank robberies occur (February, April, May, August, October, November, and December) combined with the most opportune high-risk robbery times (during the day at 1:00PM-5:00PM, of which 3:00PM-5:00PM being the most common).

During 5,943 Robberies, 100 Burglaries, and 19 Larcenies, a total of $45, 869,730 in cash and $45, 978,048 in Total Securities were taken; only 22% ($8,015,546) of securities taken were actually recovered.

Highest probabilities of criminal intentions were at branch-office banks (93.7% of facility types) located commercial districts and shopping centers (90.3% of locations).  The report also shows that 5, 735 (88.5%) of bank robberies walk right in the front door and up to the counter using a Demand Note and a Weapon in 4,888 (82.2%) of all occurrences.

Unfortunately, out of 94 Hostages taken, 67 (71.2%) were Employees and 22 (23.4%) were Customers equaling 94.6% of all hostages taken.

.RENO, Nev. – A gunman was holed up Friday at a Walmart store where he
worked after shooting three co-workers who were hospitalized with non-life
threatening injuries, police said.

Heavily armed police officers entered the building about four hours after
the lone gunman entered about 8:30 a.m. and opened fire on fellow
employees, Reno Deputy Police Chief Mike Whan said.

The name of the gunman has not been released.

“To our knowledge, he’s the only one in the store,” Whan told The
Associated Press.

One of the victims was shot critically, but “the prognosis is good for all
of them,” said Dan Fogleman, a spokesman for Wal-mart Stores Inc. He
provided no further details.

At least nine officers with rifles entered the store shortly after 12:30
p.m. Police believed the gunman was in a back room. Efforts to contact him
had been unsuccessful, Whan said.

Reno police Lt. Mohammad Rafqat said the man appeared to have a handgun,
and one of his victims was a manager at the store.

Employees were placed on a bus in the parking lot of a sporting goods
store next to the Walmart.

Jimmy Moses said he was dropping his wife off for her first day of work at
the store about 9 a.m. when police cars drove up and people fled the
Walmart.

Washoe County deputies, Sparks police and the FBI joined Reno police in
sweeping the store to be sure there were no hostages.

“They were very efficient. They got everybody out fast and they kept
everybody calm,” Moses told the Reno Gazette-Journal.

Homicide detectives are investigating the fatal shooting of a man early this morning near Interstate 45 in north Harris County after he called 911 and asked for help.

The man was found inside a car the 14200 block of North Freeway near Remington Valley about 2 a.m., according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

The man, whose name has not been released, had been shot more than once. He was rushed to Houston Northwest medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

 Deputies said details about the shooting are very sketchy. They said the man was driving a blue Buick when he called 911 and told the call taker he had been shot and where he had stopped.

 When deputies arrived they found him in the car.Deputies have no suspects in the case and don’t know what led to the gunfire.

Anyone with any information about the shooting is asked to call Crime

Stoppers at 222-TIPS or the Harris County Sheriff’s Homicide Unit at 713-967-5810.

Shootings can happen anywhere and at anytime. Having the ability to protect yourself is important.  At Whitehawk we offer the Texas Concealed Carry License Course. The next course is November 6th. Contact us to enroll today. 817 556-3420.

A black male suspect entered a chain retail jewelry store at 7:40 p.m. and asked to see “the largest diamond they had.” A sales associate showed the suspect a 3ct loose diamond. The suspect then asked to see a 4ct loose diamond. When he was handed this diamond, the suspect ran from the store.

The suspect is described as 25-years-old, 5’7” to 5’8”, 160 lbs., dark complexion, with a goatee and multiple tattoos on his neck and one on his left hand, and wearing a white dress shirt and black dress pants and shoes.

If you have information, call the Copley Police at 330-666-8866.

There was a similar case of a grab and run of a high-end watch in Novi, MI on June 22, 2010, in which the suspect had a tattoo on his right hand that read “get money,” and another on the right side of his neck that said “blessed.” If you have information, contact Detective Todd Anger at 248-347-0544.

RECOMMENDATION: When a “customer” asks to see “the largest diamond in the store,” or to see “your most expensive watch,” that is a time to get additional help from other employees in the store. Be extremely cautious in allowing a person making such a request to handle merchandise, and have another employee stand on the customer’s side of the counter. Many fine stores also ask for identification when showing high-end goods, and state that their insurance company requires that they ask for such identification. While there is no guaranty that this will discourage a determined grab and run thief, such precautions may cause the thief to see that you are serious about security and move on.
