Family heirloom from 1920 stolen and recovered in Mississippi
“Thanks to LeadsOnline I recovered a ring from 1920 that was passed down through the victim’s family. I ran my suspect’s name and found the ring was sold two weeks earlier. I recovered the ring, put the bad guy in jail and also got the store’s money back to them!”

Statewide electronic reporting system for scrap theft alerts leads police metal theft suspects
“I received a picture of a vehicle where someone was stealing metal. The owner of the metal gave me names of some people in the area hauling scrap metal. I checked their names with LeadsOnline, and one of them had pictures of not only the vehicle, but the man’s metal was on it. Thanks LeadsOnline.”

“I had a victim make a report about several items that were stolen from around his farm. I asked him if he had any trouble with anyone lately, and he gave me a few names. I checked those names and nothing showed up, so I checked the names of some of their known associates. Those associates sold scrap the same day my victim had things stolen. I printed off a picture of a chainsaw that matched my victim’s description and showed the victim. He identified it was his. I arrested all the subjects who were involved including the subjects he first named. Without LeadsOnline they probably never would have been caught.”
