“I had a suspect in custody and was questioning him about a stolen vehicle which contained stolen law enforcement items from a vehicle break-in. He denied having any knowledge of the law enforcement items in the vehicle. While doing the arrest paperwork, I decided to research him on LeadsOnline. I found that he had just sold a law enforcement taser that was part of the stolen items taken from the law enforcement vehicle. Needless to say, he was charged accordingly. It was a huge success because I was able to prove that he lied to me and it allowed me to go more in depth with the investigation and make multiple more charges because of LeadsOnline. Thank you!”

I pulled up LeadsOnline and I saw that a guy had sold a Backpack blower and a weed eater on the same day as my offense and about 30 minutes after it was reported to us. I called my victim who called the place he purchased the items from and was able to obtain a serial number for both items, which ended up matching the items that were sold.

“Toward the end of last year, we were being swarmed with vehicle break-ins in our area and had no suspect descriptions. My only lead was one vehicle that had a checkbook stolen out of it and I was later able to pull up a picture of the guy who tried to cash one of the checks at a local bank branch. After randomly looking through LeadsOnline for similar property that had been stolen from the break-ins, I noticed a female that had turned an iPhone in at one of the local EcoATM’s. Low and behold, she was on camera standing next to a guy who greatly resembled the same one that was on camera at the bank. I was able to identify the suspect in both pictures and was able to successfully close several UB&E cases with the arrest.”

“Two years ago I was investigating a report of a breaking and entering and larceny. The victim advised who he thought the suspect was based on the suspect bragging to friends. Over a year later I made contact with the suspect who stated that he would not meet with me because his mother told him that police could lie to him and they could arrest him based on what someone said. I had already checked the suspect on LeadsOnline and nothing definitive turned up until I decided to do another search on LeadsOnline for the suspect early this year and found that the suspect sold the property late last year, after I originally talked to him, so this should probably be on Dumb Criminals too!”
