Business owners in Tacoma, Wash. are taking an electrifying new approach to combat criminals.
Aaberg’s Tools & Equipment Rental owner Alexx Bacon installed electric fences to deter criminals after a series of break-ins.
“It was just nightly break-ins, always middle of the night, waking me up, taking me away from home. Coming in, fences cut wide open, like in the camera there. Costly repairs. Every time I’d have to have an emergency fence repair, you’re talking $1000, roughly to the point where I started driving around with a roll of fencing in my car, and I’d fix it myself because it was being broken into so frequently, I couldn’t stop it,” he explained.
The city of Tacoma has not been immune to the crime crisis plaguing many cities across the U.S. City data from May, however, noted a drop in homicides, violent crime, and property crime so far this year, which is being attributed in part to the hiring of more police officers. “We’re comparing this year’s crime to record-breaking years the last two years, so it looks like a decrease, but if we take a step back, really, that’s not what the community is seeing,” Tacoma Police Union President Henry Betts said on “Fox & Friends First” in May. “Crime is still really high, we’re still down a lot of cops.”
