PROBLEM
Crime Moves Faster Than Response Times
Most break-ins happen in under four minutes. That’s all it takes for criminals to break through doors, smash display cases, and escape with high-value goods. 🚨
Even with a strong police response, officers rarely arrive in less than ten minutes—by which time the damage is done, and the thieves are long gone.
One major supermarket chain with thousands of stores experienced this first-hand. Their petrol filling stations and convenience stores became a prime target for fast-acting thieves, resulting in millions in losses.
OPTIONS
Conventional Security Wasn’t Enough
Determined to stop the losses, the retailer tried every traditional security measure:
✔️ Monitored alarms – Triggered too late to prevent the crime.
✔️ Roller shutter doors – Easily forced open in seconds.
✔️ CCTV – Captured everything but stopped nothing.
Despite these precautions, criminals continued to strike with confidence. The retailer needed a proactive security solution—one that could disrupt the crime as it was happening.
THE SOLUTION
Security Fog That Stops Crime in Seconds
The retailer turned to Smoke Screen security fog—a proven, instant, and effective defence against intruders. They started with a single installation at the most targeted area: the cigarette counter, a high-value hotspot for criminals.
The results? Immediate success. 🚀
With just one Smoke Screen, they saw an instant reduction in theft. The thick, harmless fog filled the store in seconds, disorienting intruders and forcing them to flee empty-handed.
Seeing the impact, the retailer expanded their security fog strategy, rolling out over 3,000 installations nationwide—one of the largest deployments of security fog ever seen in the retail sector.
