Tacoma considers allowing electric fences in more parts of the city. Here's the reason
Dec. 14—After eight catalytic converters were stolen from vehicles in their parking lot in recent months, the owners of Aqua Rec's in Tacoma had enough.
They filed a permit with the city of Tacoma to put up an electric fence around their property off Puyallup Avenue.
"We didn't really entertain it seriously until about a month ago because we've had multiple break-ins on our employees," said Josh Shamp, co-owner of Aqua Rec's, a pool, spa and fireplace service company that's been at the location for about two decades. "It's just gotten worse."
Aqua Rec's isn't the only business in Tacoma seeking to use electric fences to deter crime.
