“On February 14th I entered a lap top computer into LeadsOnline that had recently been stolen. A couple of days later, I received a hit from LeadsOnline, saying the lap top was at a local pawn shop. I used the information provided to get an arrest warrant for the person who pawned the computer, and was also able to return the computer to its owner within a week of it being stolen.”

“I recently worked on a case where the victim was on vacation in Key West Florida. She was alerted by her cell phone that someone was in her house in Fort Pierce Florida. She pulled up her residence on her phone and saw three suspects in her house. The suspects happened to be former schoolmates of her son. At first the suspects denied the break in. Their names were entered into LeadsOnline which showed that the suspects sold several of the victim’s items at Cash American Pawn in Fort Pierce. The suspects were shown to have sold several other items that were stolen from other burglaries. The suspects were arrested. One confessed to the crime and are pending other charges from other burglaries.”

“I was planning a family vacation from Fort Collins, Colorado, to Abilene, Texas. Prior to leaving, I ran my daily NCIC Hit report. Where should one of our stolen bikes show up but in a store in Abilene! It was a bike worth $1600 that had been stolen from a 15-year-old-boy. I simply attached a bike rack to our family vehicle and was able to recover the bike for our juvenile victim while in Abilene. I didn’t think that much about it at the time, but the family was so impressed that LeadsOnline was able to find the bike for us two states away, that they notified the press. The resulting positive public relations was invaluable!”

“I conducted a search for a bicycle last year. I had the serial number, and I always save my searches for 60 days. Needless to say, the case was closed and long forgotten. I received an NCIC hit through LeadsOnline on the bicycle almost a year to the date. I had the business send me a picture of the bike, and the complainant positively identified it. Happy ending. The offense occurred May 2015 and the Bike was recovered May 2016. Never give up hope!”

“I was investigating a case where the subject in question was a property manager and had taken off without the property owner knowing. The subject stole a vehicle from the owner when he left in the middle of the night. The property owner found that all the hand tools and power tools that were stored on the property were also missing. This totaled over $10,000 in theft. Using LeadsOnline, I was able to recover the property from other counties and place holds on the items until pick up. Even though I was not able to recover all the property, the victim was really pleased with the items that were recovered, and LeadsOnline helped my case tremendously.”

“Police have been using LeadsOnline for several years now in Fayetteville, North Carolina and have had tremendous success recovering thousands of dollars stolen property. I was able to help two South Carolina counties recover musical equipment stolen from numerous churches then brought to Fayetteville, North Carolina and pawned. That suspect was apprehended and convicted when he was given a plea agreement in South Carolina. That same suspect was also charged by our agency for similar charges and pled to those charges also. I have officers from other agencies that inquired about LeadsOnline and how it helped our agency and advised them to use the trial time and also sent them copies of our City Ordinance. I have been extremely impressed with what LeadsOnline provides to assist Law Enforcement with numerous types of crimes.”

“Patrol was sent to investigate a suspicious vehicle occupied by three subjects near a house that had recently been burglarized. Responding officers stopped two of the three subjects and called me to the scene to assist. I ran both subjects through LeadsOnline at the scene, and determined that one of the subjects had just pawned a bicycle matching the description of one that was taken in the burglary. I arrested that subject, and he gave me information during his interrogation that I used to determine the identity of the third subject that got away. I ran that subject through LeadsOnline, and checked a local pawnshop. I recovered nearly all of the proceeds of the burglary.”

“I received a notification from LeadsOnline regarding a possible stolen firearm that was stolen from a Fayetteville residence in August of 2012. Detective Phillip Lee found the report and called the pawnshop where the firearm was pawned. Detective Phillip Lee spoke with an employee and confirmed the serial number and color of the firearm. The firearm is currently being held at the pawnshop pending investigation. Good job Detective Phillip Lee. Note: Detective Phillip Lee is not related to Detective Travis Lee!”

“I solved one of my partner’s burglaries while he’s off on sick leave with knee surgery. I was able to contact the pawn shop and the neighboring police agency before the stolen property was sold, lost, scrapped, or melted down. I was able to call my partner’s victim and explain that her over $7,000 worth of stolen property and family heirlooms had been recovered. p.s. Thanks for the free trial way back when. I think this makes 5 cases and counting just for me not including the other guys!”

“Near the first of December we received word from a very elderly female that she was the victim of a theft. ‘Ms. Mary’ said she just couldn’t believe someone would steal her 71 piece sterling silver flatware set, but she had searched her house high and low and couldn’t find it anywhere. She went onto say that she had used the set for a Labor Day family gathering and that was the last time she had remembered seeing it. I asked the victim if she had a possible list of suspects for me to check into, and she said that she had always been raised to not say an unkind word about anyone unless she knew for certain they were bad. I was able to assure ‘Ms. Birdy’ I had a TOP SECRET database that I could check and the only people who would know she had even mentioned a name would be her, me, and the Good Lord. ‘Ms. Birdy’ then named off about 15 people who had been in her home since Labor Day. Most folks she named were grandchildren, but a few were people she and her husband had been trying to help feed, cloth, and give shelter to during these tough economic times. I checked the names on LeadsOnline and didn’t receive any usable results. Toward the end of December, just before leaving for the New Year holiday, I decided to check on ‘Ms. Birdy’s’ case one more time, but this time doing a broader search. Wouldn’t you know it, just two days before Thanksgiving one of the men ‘Ms. Birdy’ and her husband had given shelter to, and who was also a member of their church, had sold a 71 piece sterling silver flatware set to a local precious metal dealer. Thanks Leads Online for again clearing one of my many cases and for giving ‘Ms. Birdy’ a belated Christmas and a surely better 2013!”

“I was assigned to investigate a larceny in a building. The victim had some friends over for the weekend. After the friends left, the victim noticed that a couple of his computers were missing, and he suspected that one of the friends stole them. Utilizing the names that the victim provided me with, I searched LeadsOnline where I learned that one of the friends did, in fact, sell the computers at a store about 20 miles away. The store was very cooperative, and they provided me with photos of the computers, as well as a copy of the suspect’s ID and thumbprint. As a result, I was able to obtain charges against the suspect!”

“We experienced a wave of felony and misdemeanor thefts at several big name stores. Management at these stores were unable to provide serial numbers for any of these items. However, as reports made their way into my office, I began searching in LeadsOnline. Within 1 hour, I identified pawn transactions made by two individuals that live in another part of the state. It didn’t take long to determine their connection to our city and by the next day both subjects were apprehended and almost all of the reported stolen property has been recovered. The estimated recovery amount is $50,000.”

“We had a breaking and entering case where a very expensive saw was stolen. I ran the serial number through LeadsOnline and received a hit.

“We have been chasing an individual for about a year that was stealing just about everything in victims yards, ladders for scrap, any tool that he could pawn etc. We were able to shut him down at the pawn shops, and scrap yards in our area and the county northwest of us. The thefts slowed down, almost to a stop. Then he apparently found a place to get rid of the items and graduated to going into pole barns and garages, stealing any and every tool he could. We couldn’t find where he was taking the stuff. We checked his name through LeadsOnline. A store in Newark which is in the County just north of us got the LeadsOnline program, and he was caught again.”

“We took a theft report of a gaming system. The Officer entered the item into NCIC as stolen. Through LeadsOnline, we received a potential NCIC hit notification.

“I received an NCIC hit on a PS3 that was stolen over a year ago. This was a residential burglary. The reporting officer entered the item into NCIC with the serial number. A year after it was stolen, I received the hit from Leads regarding the reported stolen item and contacted the store to obtain the necessary information to hold the item. I contacted the victim and he refused to prosecute, stating ‘it’s been too long, I just want my property back.’ He was referred to the store. The item was removed from NCIC. This case has been closed due to refusal to prosecute. Thank you LeadsOnline. Without Leads this item would not have been recovered!”

“Two subjects went to a family friend’s farm to dispose of some debris. The male and the female subjects were later invited into the victim’s residence. Once inside, the female subject asked to use a bathroom. After leaving the bathroom, the female subject went directly into the victim’s bedroom while she was being occupied in another part of the residence by the white male subject. $4,500 worth of jewelry was stolen during the incident. The following day the victim contacted law enforcement and reported the theft. The two suspects were checked through the LeadsOnline database. Search of LeadsOnline revealed that approximately one hour after leaving the victim’s residence both subjects sold the stolen jewelry in another county adjacent to our jurisdiction. Both suspects were arrested, charged with the theft and have since pled guilty in Hardin County Circuit Court on felony charges.”

“Last year, I received a breaking and entering and theft of property report. The complainant reported his work tools and equipment, totaling approximately $5,150, had been stolen from his work van. Three days later, I checked LeadsOnline using the Residents Pawning Outside of Jurisdiction Feature. This led me to discover the tools had been sold in Camden, AR. I made contact with the business owner who provided me with photos of the tools. These tools were then positively identified by the complainant. I made contact with the suspect who had been arrested on an unrelated charge. The suspect ultimately confessed to being responsible for breaking the window out of the work van and stealing the reported property. His confession led me to the recovery of all but one of the remaining stolen items. Needless to say, the company owner was very proud to know their property had been recovered! Thanks LeadsOnline for helping to provide us with a valuable service!”

“I was assigned a burglary case in which an Apple iPad was taken. I queried LeadsOnline and located the item in a metro area pawn shop. Further information revealed the pawn occurred less than two hours after the offense occurred. Because of the time frame and the positive identification of the suspect, charges for Burglary and Violation of Pawnbroker Act were filed.”

“I was assigned to investigate a warrant arrest for burglary. During the initial investigation the item that was stolen, an expensive camera, was not recovered. When the case was re-assigned to me, I queried the Leads database and located the camera in another city. Locating the camera made the case considerably stronger and charges for theft were subsequently filed.”

“A burglary occurred during which property was taken from the residence of the victim. At the time the burglary was committed a construction crew was working at the residence and had come under suspicion for the burglary. After completing a LeadsOnline query, another suspect was developed, who was not a member of the construction crew. This individual was arrested for the burglary and violation of pawnbroker act. Because of LeadsOnline the construction crew was not investigated thus saving me, the investigator, a tremendous amount of time.”

“Wow, this database is awesome. We have had a rash of garage burglaries over the past couple of weeks and had no suspect information. I have had success in the past with serial numbers on stolen items; however, none of the victims of the garage burglaries had serial numbers on the items that were taken. I queried the specific brand name of a tool that was taken last week and identified the specific item that had been taken, it was somewhat unique. This led to a suspect who had pawned 103 items over a one month period, more than 4 transactions per day. There is currently a warrant issued for his arrest.”

“We got another one! Thanks to LeadsOnline we were able to charge another burglary suspect for selling stolen property. The burglary occurred at 8 a.m., and the sale took place at 9 a.m. We were able to file charges against the suspect shortly thereafter. Thanks again Leads.”

“In October, my victim located a pawn slip, from her ex-boyfriend, showing an item of jewelry belonging to her. The victim quickly discovered numerous other items missing, leading to a Denver Police theft report. Using LeadsOnline, I was able to identify three items taken by the ex-boyfriend, without the victim’s consent. The items were recovered and returned to the victim. The case remained on hold until the following June, when the suspect was located and arrested on the theft/pawn violation warrant. The case was accepted by the district attorney’s office, and four felony charges accepted against the suspect. Thanks LeadsOnline.”

“A garage burglary occurred in the City of Denver. The report was made around 0900 hours on that day. No suspect information was provided. By entering the serial number of a stolen $2,000 bicycle that was stolen into LeadsOnline, I was able to obtain information that the bicycle was pawned in a neighboring city just a few hours after the burglary was reported. This information provided by LeadsOnline then led me to enter the suspect’s name into the database for known pawns. Low and behold, the suspect had forty two pawns in the metro area. It all seemed to be garage type items. Through the investigation, I located three other items stolen during the burglary, which were pawned by the same suspect in a different neighboring city. A computer check indicated that this suspect and his associates were charged in Fargo, North Dakota for burglary related charges. Information gathered indicated that it was LeadsOnline that was instrumental in these arrests as well. Due to LeadsOnline, I was able to obtain an arrest warrant for the suspect, which included one count of Second Degree Burglary and two counts of Pawnbroker Violations. The warrant was posted with a $50,000 bond. Thanks!”

“Another hit from LeadsOnline. A female associated with burglary came up on LeadsOnline and I was able to write a two time pawn broker violation warrant. Both parties were arrested and I used LeadsOnline printouts, which are so easy to read, during the interviews. The suspects were able to look at them and figure out what items were stolen from the same burglaries by looking at dates and items pawned. Thank you again. I was able to file eight Pawn Broker Violations and five Burglaries on the male suspect. With the female suspect; I filed two Pawn Broker Violations. Thanks again!”

“The DeMotte Police Department in Indiana took a report of a stolen snow blower from a residence in our town. The snow blower had been taken from the homeowner’s front yard. Another local resident, a neighbor to the victim, had been identified by our department as a suspect in several thefts that occurred in and around the same neighborhood. Upon running the suspect and his mother’s name, it was discovered that the suspect sold the same type of snow blower within a few days of the victim having noticed it missing. A hold was placed on the snow blower, and the victim identified the item by two new bolts he had just recently installed.”

“We had a burglary where TVs, game systems and jewelry were taken. A search was made in LeadsOnline with the serial numbers to the TVs, Xbox and PS3. I received an email from LeadsOnline that a PS3 with a similar serial number was at one of the local stores. I went to the store and confirmed the PS3 was the one stolen in our burglary. The clerk at the store had accidentally entered one of the serial numbers wrong. Thanks to LeadsOnline the stolen property was located and recovered. The investigation led to the arrest of one of the culprits. You Rock!”

“In late January, we took a theft report for some tools stolen out of a work truck. Two weeks later, I ran a query in LeadsOnline, and located one of the stolen power tools at a pawn shop. I met the victim at the pawn shop, and using the serial number, he confirmed the item was his air impact gun. I am hopeful the store video will also help me locate suspects that stole copper welding leads stolen out of a work truck on an adjactent street that same night.

“A burglary was reported to our agency when a Nikon SLR camera, detachable flash and a Beats by Dr. Dre headset was stolen. No possible offender was identified prior to the LeadsOnline inquiry. Due to the victim assigning incorrect serial numbers of the items stolen, the initial inquiry didn’t reveal the items. But after utilizing the flexibility of the LeadsOnline inquiry system, the same model camera was located in Chicago by residents of a neighboring town of the burglary location. After confirming the correct serial numbers, the items were recovered. Not only were the items recovered, but two suspects were identified, caught on video, arrested for residential burglary and took guilty pleas on the case. Thank you LeadsOnline!”

I have been able to recover several items and with the cooperation of many pawn shop owners we will be bringing the suspect to justice.”

“In one week, I visited four pawn shops in three different counties to recover property from several different thefts. The property ranged from jewelry to lawn care equipment. LeadsOnline aided me in being able to recover the stolen property, allowing me to bring charges against five different criminals. They are now facing charges that would not have been possible without LeadsOnline. LeadsOnline has helped us bring local criminals to justice by identifying property that was stolen and sold outside of our jurisdiction. When we are able to return property to victims and have the opportunity to see relief on their faces, it’s a tremendous feeling. Thank you LeadsOnline for being such a great service.”
