A lot of gun store owners worry about getting robed, this one saved his business with technology:
The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office has arrested one of two suspects who broke into a business on Lockwood Ridge Road last night but fled without stealing any merchandise.
The owner of SRQ Fishing Oasis/Amendment II Armory called 911 just before 9:30 p.m., when she saw two men breaking into the store on her remote surveillancesystem. Deputies arrived on scene, secured the business and reviewed the footage which showed one of the suspects was carrying a small revolver. A man wearing identical clothing and a black brace on his right ankle was located a short distance away.
Ryan Pete, DOB 11/12/86, 3209 Joe Louis Drive, Sarasota, who has a history of drug and weapons charges, is charged with Armed Burglary.

Who knew? I guess sometimes cops do show up on time, assuming you see the crooks before they see you.
