Teenaged prisoner escapes private security at airport http://www.privateofficer.com
17-year-old boy who was being extradited to Wyoming on burglary and probation violation charges escaped Tuesday morning at Mineta San Jose International Airport, according to police.
The boy was in the custody of U.S. Extradition Services, a private company that transports prisoners and has a Stockton office, when he broke free and fled on foot, San Jose police officer Enrique Garcia said.
Around 5:30 a.m., San Jose police were asked to join in the search for the boy, and along with Santa Clara police, set up a perimeter near the airport and Guadalupe Creek Trail, Garcia said.
The search was later called off, according to Garcia. Authorities believe the teen had slipped through the perimeter established by police.
Airport spokesman David Vossbrink said the escape happened in an airport parking lot.
“What I’ve heard is that he got loose in our short-term parking lot next to Terminal C,” Vossbrink said.
He said the boy likely ran across Airport Boulevard and headed toward the nearby Guadalupe River. “The agent was escorting the juvenile to do an air transport to a destination and he bolted at the airport,” said Bill Brees, U.S. Extradition Service’s director of marketing and operations support.

Shoplifter charged after several battles with security http://www.privateofficer.com
The incidents at the Wal-Mart and Super Kmart stores were separated by just a couple hours, deputies said.
Deputies charged Hector Claudio, 20, 1701 Blue Jay Circle, with robbery and theft after he reportedly took two compact discs from the Super Kmart store at the Ashtabula Mall. When confronted by store security, Claudio tossed a shopping basket at the employee and ran away.
Deputies followed the man’s tracks in the snow for a distance, then apprehended him a short time later inside the Lowe’s home improvement store on Dillon Drive. Authorities were called at 6:48 p.m.
Deputies believe Claudio is the shoplifter who fought with a security worker at Wal-Mart some two hours earlier. The worker saw a man who matches Claudio’s description remove hair clippers from its packaging, deputies said. When the employee caught up with the man outside the store and tried to escort back into the building, the suspect pushed the employee to the ground and fled the scene on foot, deputies said.

Famalies get millions because of lack of security www.privateofficer.com
Famalies get millions because of lack of security http://www.privateofficer.com
Two North Miami Beach families lost loved ones to gunfire one day apart and within several hundred yards of each other, NBC 6 reported.
Since then, both families have secured a settlement or a jury award after it was determined public businesses failed to provide protection for customers or tenants.
Starsky Garcia, 27, was gunned down in the parking lot of the Arbors Apartment Complex in North Miami Beach on Dec. 9, 2006
On Dec. 10, 2006, Brad Tempf was killed at a restaurant across the street from the Arbor Grove Apartments.
“My first question is, how can this happen?” Gloria Nader, Garcia’s mother, said.
That’s what Nader’s lawyers asked a jury to consider. They quickly decided that her son’s death warranted an $8 million judgment against the complex’s owners.
According to Douglas McCarron, the perimeter fence of the apartment complex was completely down, the security gates did not function, and there were no security cameras or guards.
The Tempf family’s attorneys made the same allegation — no security guards in a high crime area. The Tempfs also reached a settlement in the case.
