STORY OF THE MONTH
Convenience Store – Middleton, NS – August 10, 2026
Cigarettes protected with a 3Si Tobacco Tracker™ disappeared from a convenience store when a disguised suspect broke in and made off with about $1,500 worth of merchandise. As the suspect left the scene, the device began reporting movement. That verified location intelligence then moved through the DirectToDispatch™ pathway to local police dispatchers. Dispatchers tracked the signal to an apartment building, where officers executed a search warrant, arrested three individuals, and recovered the stolen cigarettes in full. Investigators also located additional stolen property inside the apartment, and the investigation remains ongoing.
