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.
