GABRIEL MANNARINO, his wife, JEAN, and their two teenage daughters occupy the . house. - As the Bureau has been notified previously, GABRIEL MANNARINO's cottage on Old Leechburg Road, in Allegheny Township, Westmoreland County, Pa., is.a one-story, frame building, which sits back about 300 feet from the road ona 10 acre tract which slopes from front to rear. It has a small lake in front of it, and it is surrounded by wooded area. It has 3 bedrooms, a ; kitche, a living-dining room, and a screened porch. To the 0 right rear and about 20 feet from the house is a wire. pen, which holds three German Sheperd dogs... PCI HERBERT L. RAY, who lives nearby, says there are no private telephone lines in the area, and it is Jeniown that the cottage has no telephone. ‘From past experience, ‘it is known that GABRIEL MANNARINO almost. never has visitors at his home, ‘especially those having any connections. with vacket activities, politics, or law - enforcement. SAMUEL MANNARINO occasionally has visitors of the above types, but the visits are so infrequent and~™ unpredictable, ‘that ib does not seem feasible toconsider establishing. a highly confidential source. With. regard to the MANNARINO offices at 1263 Third Avenue, New Kensington, Pa., it is noted that this. is a one story, red brick building. It is. located completely inside a ten foot: metal fence which surrounds the scrap metal yard, and it sets. ‘back from the. gate, which is locked at night, about 50 feet. The area between the gate, the scrap piles and the office _ building is brightly illuminated by a group of spotlights. . Recently, it has béen determined that this office is protected by the Silent Service System, an electronic burglar alarm ‘system which is. monitored directly by the New Kensington PD. It would seem that the most likely spot to attempt ‘to establish a btghly confidential source would be at the MANNARINO cottage, but efforts will have to be made to resolve some of the . problems, such as monitoring (the cottage is about 35 miles from the Pittsburgh Office); ingress (the dogs and a caretaker whose schedule is irregular) and security (location and coverage of all possible visitors, and possibility that there is a o burglar-alarm installed). _ -2- | Docld: 32289193 Page 2?
