“I was investigating a stolen property case that consisted of a stolen Stihl chainsaw, Stihl pole saw, heavy duty impact sockets and a portable wheeled battery charger. The items were taken from a business located in the County. After receiving information, I had contacted the local businessman who had no idea that he was missing these items or that the suspect had charged a couple of the items to the businessman’s account. I had searched the items along with the suspects name on LeadsOnline and was able to locate all the items. All but one of the items were recovered and are back in the hands of the owner. The fact that the suspects picture as well as the property serial numbers were on the LeadsOnline ticket and that we didn’t have to tear up the roads trying to locate the property at the many businesses located around the Richmond area was truly remarkable. LeadsOnline is a very important tool that can be used in a variety of different ways to assist Investigations in the recovery of stolen items as well as the prosecution of the offenders.”
