“I am a detective assigned to investigate burglaries and thefts. I was assigned a burglary in which over $10,000 of tools were taken from a warehouse. The victim gave me information on a person he suspected to have committed the burglary. Before I could contact that person, the victim contacted me with serial numbers for some of the stolen property. Using the pawn shop search in LeadsOnline, I was able to locate some of the stolen property in another jurisdiction. I was able to recover property at two pawn shops, identify a suspect and recover additional property at his residence. Video from one of the pawn shops allowed me to identify a second suspect. Neither suspect was the person named by the victim. LeadsOnline was able to eliminate wasted time in my investigation as well as identify the suspects in the case.”
