Stolen guns found after being pawned in another state

“I worked a burglary where several guns were stolen. Upon checking LeadsOnline, I found three of the stolen guns in Memphis. The firearms were recovered, one arrest was made, and two other people are wanted for the burglary. If it had not been for LeadsOnline, the victim would not have his guns back and his insurance did not pay for the guns. Again, thanks LeadsOnline for helping me do my job and helping the victims get their stolen items back.”

Arkansas Police benefit from LeadsOnline statewide system for solving crimes

“I recently conducted a burglary and theft investigation and, due to LeadsOnline, I was able to make an arrest and also obtained a confession from the suspect. The suspect had broken into an elderly man’s residence and stolen well over $3,000 worth of property from the residence including surround systems, tools, a handmade bbq grill with wheels, 10-foot trailer, washing machine and dryer, Canon digital camera, etc. Through the course of the investigation, we developed an additional suspect, and his driver’s license number was checked through scrap yard and pawnshops. It was discovered that he sold several of the stolen items in Memphis, TN. The suspect had also sold property to the scrapyard in Osceola, AR, which was also stolen from the residence. Without the use of leadsonline.com, I don’t believe I would have been able to make an arrest and recover any property.”
