Stolen cars sold to scrap yards; theft ring stopped with LeadsOnline Metal Theft Investigation System

“Recently, there was a rash of vehicle thefts of broken down or abandoned vehicles from the Interstate area of Central Arkansas. It was determined that approximately 30-40 vehicles were taken to a local scrapyard where they were crushed. One vehicle was identified by its owner at the scrapyard.

After an extensive LeadsOnline check by our department’s auto theft detective, information was obtained showing a large number of vehicles being scrapped by two individuals. Due to LeadsOnline’s ability to have photographs of items being scrapped, it was determined that two individuals were responsible for pulling the vehicles to the scrap yard. Without the ability to check information on LeadsOnline, this valuable information would have never come to light. Thanks LeadsOnLine!”
