Oldham County home security cameras catch men stealing gun safe

Family members say five guns were in safe stolen from garage CRESTWOOD, Ky. — An Oldham County homeowner is hoping home security video will help police make an arrest. The homeowner said two men broke into his garage and stole a safe full of guns. Jason, who asked to be identified by his first name only, said he got an alert on his phone from the security system. "You pull up the video instantly and we were able to see people that didn't belong here," he said. Jason said he and his family had left their Crestwood home Tuesday around 6:50 a.m. Within a few minutes, he said the security system sent the alert. "We saw them taking out a safe," Jason said. "A rather large safe. That was the only thing we saw them take." The homeowner said several of the guns inside were family heirlooms. "Some of which were gifts from my father that were traced back to my grandfather," he said. The homeowner said he was able to provide detectives serial numbers for three of the five stolen guns. Home security video shows a man in a red shirt pulling the safe out of the garage. A man in a black shirt is seen helping him. "We thought we had possibly left the door open," Jason said. "But when we got home, we could tell that they had pried their way in the side door and then kicked it the rest of the way in." The deadbolt is in pieces and the inside of the door is held shut by a piece of wood. The family is in the process of moving and feel they may have been targeted by the men. "It certainly feels that way," Jason said. "Given how fast they showed up after we left and knowing that we have been selling items in preparation for the move. Quite a few different families toured the home as it was for sale. It certainly feels that we were targeted." Police said the investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made. Anyone with information can call the Oldham County Police Department at 502-222-1300.

The Edward Snowden Interview Closed-circuit television In recent years, the use of body worn video cameras has been introduced as a new form of surveillance, often used in law enforcement, with cameras located on a police officer's chest or head. Video surveillance has generated significant debate about balancing its use with individuals' right to privacy even when in public. Special cameras for some of these purposes include line-scan cameras and thermographic cameras which allow operators to measure the temperature of the processes. With the addition of fixed cameras for the active traffic management system, the number of cameras on the Highways Agency's CCTV network is likely to increase significantly over the next few years. The cameras send the feed to a central control center where a producer selects feeds to send to the television monitors that fans can view.  New York C...

Security company in Bellevue vandalized

BELLEVUE, Neb. (KMTV) - An Omaha home security company based out of Bellevue is using its own camera to help track down a thief who stole items from outside their building. Chris Malmberg, the owner of Omaha Security Systems Inc. says an unidentified man stole nearly $300 worth of landscaping Sunday night. "The motion sensors went off and I got a notification on my phone that he was there. We saw him take the plants, we watched him drive away and then immediately contacted police," said Malmberg. "He was real nervous, but he ended up stealing shrubbery, Hosta plants, I mean - never in my life have I ever known somebody to steal landscaping." Malmberg said the plants could be replaced, but what's frustrating is that this is one of several vandalism incidents his business has experienced since OSSI moved into the building near Jefferson and Mission Ave. "We've had vandalism, we've had items stolen, or attempted to be stolen, with the security that we...
