An anti-robbery fogging product foiled its 27th UK jewellery robbery in September, at the Argyll Arcade in Glasgow.
Masked raiders launched a co-ordinated attack on four watch and jewellery stores in the Argyll Arcade but failed to enter Laing the Jeweller which was protected by Fog Bandit. Staff were unharmed and no loss was suffered.
Laings of Glasgow directors Joe Walsh and Wendy Laing after the attempted robbery at their store, said: “Laings of Glasgow can confirm there was an attempted robbery in their flagship store within the Argyll Arcade on Wednesday September 24, 2014 at 12.50pm. All security procedures were followed by our quick thinking staff, resulting in no-one being hurt from our store or any stock being taken. Laings thank everyone for their concern and well wishes.”
Laings senior marketing and ecommerce consultant Kim Murdoch added: “Our security system is Fog Bandit and was installed by our alarm company Pointer.”
The fogging product company called this a further example of the deterrent to criminals that targeting jewellers and pawnbrokers with a Fog Bandit system installed is fruitless.
