Home invasion caught on tape

Burglars picked the wrong Maumelle house to rob April 9. They got a bounty of goods, but Maumelle police got the goods on them, thanks to a surveillance system the homeowner had installed.The four men can be seen pulling into Eddie Langford's Yukon Cove driveway at 12:11 p.m., knocking on his door and waiting, then taking two minutes to kick in the front door with 22 kicks. It took less than three minutes for them to steal 10 guns, electronic equipment and jewelry and leave.Police Chief Sam Williams called the four professionals and said he hoped the extensive distribution of their photos in the newspaper and on television would lead to their arrests or at least run them out of town.Langford, who recently retired after selling his business on Maumelle Boulevard, said he installed the security system with multiple cameras years ago and it captured all the images onto a digital hard drive, which is at the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory undergoing scrutiny.The break-in was the latest in a string of burglaries in Maumelle dating to last year.

Stephens County Courthouse security system gets upgrade

The focus of Homeland Security isn't only on airports and border protection, it's also about keeping state, county, and city employees and visitors safe. In Stephens County, the courthouse's existing security is outdated, so the County Commissioner has decided that it's "out with the old and in with the new." They will be completely revamping surveillance with new cameras and sensors in and around the courthouse. The new system will meet standards set by the Department of Homeland Security.

The main focus of the security overhaul is to increase video surveillance. They're in the process of changing to new cameras which will record video to a computer hard drive. Chief Sheriff's Deputy Bob Hill says they usually watch cameras closer during court cases, and the new cameras will make it easier to monitor multiple areas of the building. They also will add motion detectors to the security revamp. "If there's motion in a place where there's not supposed to be motion, well, this will alert us and we can go see what the motion is," says Hill. "If we thought we were going to have something, we'd start recording," he says.
