“We recently solved three extensive residential burglaries, executed a search warrant and made an arrest using LeadsOnline. We recovered a victim’s $5,000 wedding ring and returned stolen Christmas presents to the family’s children. The presents were wrapped under the victim’s Christmas tree when they were stolen from their home. Thanks LeadsOnline!”

Law enforcement solves cases more efficiently using LeadsOnline
“Recently, LeadsOnline helped me successfully close a couple of cases. With both cases, I ran a suspect name and searched it in the LeadsOnline database. I located one victim’s wedding ring and another victim’s iPod. Both incidents were solved in a very timely manner because of LeadsOnline. Before LeadsOnline, we had to use mail and wait for police departments to enter data. My recent cases may have taken several weeks, if ever, to solve without LeadsOnline. I wish Michigan would create state legislation to make it mandatory for all reporting businesses to use.”

“I just cleared a $21,000 home health care worker theft. My suspect had stolen that amount in jewelry from a woman on hospice care and her husband. The items taken included wedding bands, various necklaces and watches. One of the watches was subsequently recovered from a business near my suspect’s hometown. Unfortunately, this one watch was the only item I was able to recover based on the time-frame of the theft and the time it took the initial report to be made. However, in spite of that, I was able to successfully obtain felony theft charges against this home health care provider.”

“Last month I came across a person whose home was burglarized in another city that borders Round Rock. While speaking with the victim, she told me about her wedding ring that was taken in the process. The victim described the ring which was very unique. Circumstances indicated it may have been stolen by someone she knew. I ran multiple checks on LeadsOnline when I decided to finally search for diamonds in Williamson County and Travis County. I located one ring with that description and learned who had sold the ring. The suspect was the victim’s sister in law who I learned had broken into her house while she was at work on multiple occasions as other items belonging to the victim from months prior were also found. The victim got back her wedding ring and a couple other pieces of jewelry. Warrants were issued on two persons that were involved in the burglary. The victim was very happy to get her ring back due to emotional attachment and monetary reasons.”

Victim files false claim; tries to defraud insurance company
“I got a case where someone was reporting that their wedding ring was stolen, so I ran the reporting party on Leads. At first only a TV was pawned in her name. I adjusted the dates and there you go, she pawned the wedding ring several months before. I called the pawn shop and they confirmed that the wedding ring was still there. I confronted the person making this report, and she admitted to lying about everything because she wanted the insurance money. Thanks LeadsOnline, another case solved and person charged.”
