ANOTHER JEWELLERS ‘SMASH AND GRAB’ ATTEMPT

THWARTED BY FOG BANDIT

At 14h27, on Wednesday 6^th October 2010, a raider attacked a high street Jeweller in Lewes, East Sussex, with an axe.

Almost immediately sensors initiated the high speed security Fog Bandit which in JUST 2 SECONDS projected a 6 METRE LONG blanket of visually impenetrable yet harmless fog which screened the targeted display cabinets and forced the raider to flee the shop without any reward.

David Clark, Managing Director, W E Clark and Son, explains;

“The intruder attacked the window with an axe and the combination of the security fog and a lady’s screams for the intruder to leave meant they ran off and we are without any stock loss”.

Neil Chrismas, Sales Director, Bandit UK Ltd added;

“The Bandit UK Team are delighted that the Fog Bandit played its part in quickly driving the raider out of the shop, restricting damage to the premises and eliminating stock loss, whilst drawing the attention of witnesses”.
