Local jewelry store catches employee

“A local jewelry store filed a police report stating they had gold jewelry missing from their inventory. They suspected an employee took the jewelry but did not know which employee and could not even pinpoint when it occurred. I searched LeadsOnline to see if any of the employees sold any jewelry, and one had. The business where this employee sold the jewelry actually photographed and uploaded those items into the database. I emailed the photos to the loss prevention officer from the jewelers. He positively identified the photos, and matched each photo to an item missing from the inventory. The employee was charged with larceny by employee, and the photographs and transaction records from LeadsOnline aided in getting the employee to confess to the crime.”

Suspect asks sister to sell stolen jewelry in different state

“We had a case where jewelry was stolen from a retirement home from three victims. The victims were all in their 90s. The retirement home had a suspect, and after running her name through LeadsOnline it came up empty. I ran a search with the same name outside of our state and low and behold, I found a match. The first name was different so I called the business where the jewelry was sold. After obtaining information, I discovered it was the sister of the suspect. The suspect told her own sister that her boyfriend gave her the jewelry and asked her to sell it because she didn’t have a license to drive to West Virginia. After speaking with the suspect by phone, she called her sister and told her the jewelry was stolen. The sister that had nothing to do with the crime gave me a statement stating her sister did steal the jewelry and admitted it to her. This is yet another case where LeadsOnline helped me solve it. Thank you.”

Jewelry store employee caught stealing and selling during her lunch break

“I was contacted by a local jewelry store owner who suspected an employee of stealing jewelry from their store. The store owner asked if there was a way to check and see if this person was selling jewelry in the area. I conducted a search using LeadsOnline of the suspected employee and learned this employee sold 33 items dating back to the first month of employment with the jewelry store. The store owner began to search her files and learned items were deleted out of their inventory and/or placed on older receipts to make it appear that the items were sold. The secondhand business still had 21 pieces of jewelry in store. With the inventory hard copy photos, and the photos of the items at the secondhand business, we matched the items. LeadsOnline helped me compare her time card to show in 26 occasions the suspect took the items and sold them during her lunch break and then returned to work. The total amount reported in the 33 items stolen was $205,480, and the amount we recovered from the secondhand shop from the 21 items returned was $129,976. When the suspect was arrested and told about the evidence dating back to June 2013 with the inventory sheets matching the items she sold, she asked for an attorney.”

Score one more for the good guys

“I’m an investigator with the Oneida Police Department. We are a small department in East Tennessee and do not have a significant amount of resources. I recently worked a case involving the theft of over $14,000 worth of jewelry. We tried the local pawn shops but came up with nothing. I heard about LeadsOnline and signed us up for the trial. As Nicole was walking me through the process, she ran my suspect’s name. There were immediate hits from pawn shops in Knoxville! Having the limited resources that we do, we never would have found the jewelry without LeadsOnline.

LeadsOnline provides evidence that coax out confessions from suspects

“A victim reported a stolen ring valued at $8,000 shortly after having an employee of a local TV/internet company at her home for service. The employee was interviewed shortly after the report and denied involvement. A year later, I queried the case report to compare a suspected stolen ring recovered by another department to our victim’s ring. It was not it. I saw in the initial reports LeadsOnline had not been queried. I checked the employee’s name on Leads and found he sold a ring to a jewelry store shortly after the date of the theft. The victim had made a sketch of her ring for the initial officer and I was able to compare that to the photo taken by the jewelry store placed on Leads. It was a match! The suspect employee was interviewed and denied any knowledge…until I showed him the Leads printout. He immediately confessed.”

According to New York Police, many crimes would go unsolved without LeadsOnline

“A woman came to our department wishing to file a complaint for several thousand dollars worth of jewelry and precious metals stolen from her residence. She was unable to provide a time frame of when this jewelry was taken; however, she did provide the name of a person who had access to her residence and may be responsible for the stolen property. The problem was that there was no evidence linking the stolen property to the suspect. Within minutes of interviewing the victim, I logged on to LeadsOnline and searched the name of the potential suspect. The search revealed that the suspect pawned numerous pieces of jewelry and other precious metals over the course of several months. The LeadsOnline records displayed the dates and times the suspect pawned the items, as well as detailed descriptions and photographs of the property. The victim positively identified the property as the property stolen from her residence. The database also showed a photocopy of the suspect’s driver license that was required to pawn the property. This evidence was crucial for linking the stolen property to the suspect. The suspect was eventually located and arrested for his crimes. Without LeadsOnline, this investigation would have taken weeks of leg work and dozens of man hours with the possibility that this crime may not have been solved. As a Police Officer, Investigator, or Detective, having a resource such as LeadsOnline is an invaluable tool. I can say with certainty that without LeadsOnline, many crimes would go unsolved.”

2-for-1 deal: LeadsOnline assists investigator in two arrests

“An investigator with the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office was assigned to investigate the theft of three rings from a residence under repair. He obtained the names of all the contractors that came to the house during the time-frame of the theft, and checked them through LeadsOnline. The person of interest had sold two rings. The investigator interviewed the suspect and obtained a confession. The suspect stated that he had sold the stolen rings during the same transaction at the same business. Based on previous issues with the owner of this gold store, the suspect was wired up and sent back to the store in an attempt to get back the stolen property he had sold the owner of the gold store. The owner made several incriminating statements and even searched the suspect for a police wire before finally agreeing to sell the stolen property back to the suspect for twice the value. The owner of the business was arrested for possession of stolen property, falsifying sales records, and obstruction of justice.

Family reunions may be awkward for a while

“Last month I came across a person whose home was burglarized in another city that borders Round Rock. While speaking with the victim, she told me about her wedding ring that was taken in the process. The victim described the ring which was very unique. Circumstances indicated it may have been stolen by someone she knew. I ran multiple checks on LeadsOnline when I decided to finally search for diamonds in Williamson County and Travis County. I located one ring with that description and learned who had sold the ring. The suspect was the victim’s sister in law who I learned had broken into her house while she was at work on multiple occasions as other items belonging to the victim from months prior were also found. The victim got back her wedding ring and a couple other pieces of jewelry. Warrants were issued on two persons that were involved in the burglary.

Valuables nearly 200 years old recovered in Miami Florida with modern police technology.

“Our district in Miami began experiencing a high level of residential burglaries. One burglary occurred where multiple pieces of jewelry were taken. One of the pieces was a Gold liberty coin from the 1800s encased into a charm with diamonds. I met with the victim which provided a photo of the items and was distraught of having them taken from her bedroom. She said the jewelry had been in her family for generations. I then conducted a LeadsOnline search of a suspect’s name, which had been arrested for an attempted burglary in the area near the victim’s home. The search showed the suspect sold jewelry with a similar description to the victim’s jewelry on the same day the victim reported her burglary. I then went to the Jewelry store and photographed the items. The photo was then shown to the victim, which immediately began to cry and positively identified the items as hers. She also provided vintage photos of her wearing the 1800’s Livery coin charm. The items were then surrendered by the store, and the suspect was arrested and charged. If not for LeadsOnline, the victim would more than likely never have seen her belongings again. LeadsOnline is great.”
