In an Atlanta neighbourhood, a new neighbour moved in and within a week, his garage was broken into and his $3,000 road bike was stolen.
He reported the crime to the police but with no actionable evidence to go on, the investigation appeared to be at a dead end.
Solution
Flock Safety wireless cameras designed to capture licence plates can be used by local police to investigate crime The neighbourhood had recently installed Flock Safety’s licence plate reading camera system. Equipped with a general timeframe of when the bike was stolen, the neighbour was able to quickly access Flock’s footage and pull down the licence plate information for all non-resident vehicles over that time period.
In the footage, there was a photo of the thief leaving the neighbourhood with the neighbour’s bike in the back of his car.
Result
The neighbour promptly shared the evidence with the police, who were able to solve the crime within a few weeks.
Feedback
“With Flock’s system, we were able to successfully solve an incident that in any other situation would have been a cold case,” said Detective N. Yimer, Dekalb County Police.
“My new, high-end bicycle was stolen from my house within my first week of moving to the Atlanta area. Thankfully, the Flock camera system along my street captured the criminal’s face, tag number, and car in enough detail to view my bike in the trunk and provide local law enforcement enough evidence to arrest the criminal.”
“It was later found that the criminal was responsible for several other thefts in both my neighbourhood and Atlanta suburb. If my neighbour had not installed the Flock camera system along our street, the criminal might still be at large, and my bike would not have been returned to me,” said Chris G., Atlanta, GA.
