False Alarms

If Taunton, Kingston, Easton and other communities can fine companies that send in too many false alarms to local police, why can't Brockton do the same?

Oh, the city does have an ordinance that imposes a $25 fine after three false alarms, but police say no company ever gets billed and there isn't any way to collect the money. To which we say, "huh?"

Surely, if Kingston can collect $50 from a business after the third false alarm and get its money while cutting down on the false alarms Brockton can do it. And Taunton just fined Loomis Fargo $300 for a series of false alarms, one of 11 companies fined last month.

But Brockton Lt. Wayne Sargo said it would take a $15,000 software package and the hiring of a clerk to collect fines in the city. He said the system would pay for itself, but we're not convinced all that technology and manpower is necessary to know which companies are chronic callers of false alarms.

Diamonds

At Toronto, more than $5 million in diamonds stored in safes at a North York wholesaler were stolen by cat burglars police described as pros.

Employees at Gem Star Inc. found on Monday morning that the business had been broken into, the security system circumvented and the two large safes cut open. The safes contained cut and uncut loose diamonds.

Toronto Sgt. Lino Murarotto said forensic experts confirmed that there were several burglars who ransacked the business on the second floor of the building sometime during the weekend.

"We know that there had to be a few involved in this because of the weight of the safes and the amount of work and effort that went into this," he said.

"Obviously, they were well equipped, organized and they must have planned this well in advance and they knew what they were doing." .
