WZRD News 3/28/2024 • Device could help eliminate retail smash and grabs in Chicago, alderman says • PSA: HayWyre and The Vestiges Dance Crew at Theatre Y • Published March 27, 2024 • Updated on March 27, 2024 at 5:36 pm • While the phenomenon of retail smash-and-grab robberies continues to sweep through Chicago, merchants may have a new tool with which to fight back. • It is called instant fog. • A small machine attaches to a store's alarm system and fills a room with a harmless white fog when it is triggered. • Mike Egel of DensityUSA, the U.S. distributor of the European-built systems, said the humidifier-sized devices offer an additional layer of protection on top of metal shades, alarm systems and cameras. • Instant fog devices use a combination of distilled water and glycol to produce a dry fog that can completely obscure a small store space in a matter of seconds. • The company says the devices are perfect for the retail environment because they do not hurt people or damage merchandise. • Some systems are already in use in the Chicago area, but store owners are reluctant to say if they are using the devices. • Ald. Brian Hopkins said some of the first units were installed in stores in his 2nd Ward. • Some of the stores in my ward that have implemented this technology, they have almost eliminated the overnight robberies, Hopkins said. • Hopkins added that the Chicago Fire Department tested and approved the devices for use. There is really no reason for a retailer not to do this if they have been hit repeatedly. • Egel said criminals know that police cannot be everywhere. • He said they take advantage of the time it takes for police to arrive to take what they came for and make their getaway. The fog machines create a disorienting situation. • We place the machines in such a way that the fog billows out at the criminals as they are entering the premises, so they turn and leave, Egel said. • Hopkins said the machines present a more attractive alternative than rolling metal shades, which he said can be unsightly. • Egel said the devices can be placed out of sight behind the • We are sick and tired of the criminal element having the edge, he said. We are bringing back the edge to the other side of this. • Source: NBC5 Chicago, March 27, 2024. • https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local... • PSA: HayWyre and The Vestiges Dance Crew at Theatre Y • Theatre Y introduced the Monday Night Buzz in 2023... • In 2024, they are launching the Friday Night Swerve! • On April 12, 2024, the First Exhibition will be a Stage Performance Experience designed for dancers to showcase movement of all styles.
