FBI Warns Storage Unit Operators
Terrorist alert is extended to self-storage units
Joyce Lavoy is a manager for South Toledo Self Storage. Lavoy says she was
stunned when an FBI agent walked into her office and told her to be on the
lookout for possible terrorist activity. Local FBI agents are visiting
about 350
storage places in 19 northwest Ohio communities, including Toledo, Lucas
County, and Sandusky. They're handing out alerts to owners and employees on
potential terrorist activity in storage facilities.
Federal sources tell 13 Action News in the past, terror suspects have been
known to use storage units to devise their plans. Everytime Joyce Lavoy
unlocks
an empty storage unit and lifts the door, she's looking for the warning
signs of possible terrorist activity. Lavoy has worked in the storage
business
for five years. She says she's never had an FBI agent walk into her office.
"I
thought there was someone renting a storage unit he was looking for." That
wasn't the case.
Lavoy says FBI agents wanted to put managers on alert that terrorists have
been known to store and mix deadly chemicals in storage units. The FBI alert
cautions storage owners and employees to be on the lookout for: suspicious
people who visit the storage facility late at night or at unusual times.
unusual fumes, liquids, residues or odors emanating from their storage unit.
explosives, blasting caps, fuses, weapons, and ammunition. flight manuals
or other
similar materials.
Lavoy says security cameras are in place and she's taking extra trips around
the building with her employees looking for anything suspicious.
