A man recorded the moment an attempted burglary was deterred by his Ring Floodlight Camera. In footage shared by Iain Scott, four men with their faces covered and bolt cutters in hand can be seen approaching his car and trying to open one of the doors. Their motion alerted Iain’s security camera, prompting the light to turn on which quickly scared them off the property, which ultimately prevented the crime.
After seeing the video in the morning, Iain shared the footage with local police and neighbours to alert them to the attempted theft. A member of the community social group, later shared that a local Police Community Support Officer mentioned four men matching the description in Iain’s video were apprehended for causing trouble in the local area.
Iain Scott, 35, from Dundry, near Bristol said: “Our Floodlight Camera really did its job! You can tell the group was unaware of the camera and light so as soon as it turned on, they ran off. Having the Ring footage available on my phone when we woke up the next day meant we became aware of the attempt and alerted our local community and the police.
