Solving Crime with Flock License Plate Cameras in Atlanta
Flock Safety LPR cameras helped an Atlanta neighborhood quickly identify a suspect’s vehicle, leading to an arrest after a home invasion.
A crime occurred in one of Flock Safety’s neighborhoods in Atlanta. One of the residents had her back door kicked in by two individuals. Her home security system was triggered but the culprits still had enough time to steal a drawer filled with jewelry.
The resident filed a report with the police, then informed her neighborhood’s Security Chair of the incident. Another neighbor’s doorbell camera provided a long-distance photo of the victim’s home in the correct time frame – where they were able to spot a suspicious red van parked outside.
Armed with the timeframe and vehicle description, the Security Chair was able to quickly utilize the Flock system to find the license plate number and provide to law enforcement within an hour of the crime. This information was added to the police’s evidence and crime report – and assisted in an arrest.
“Without Flock Safety’s cameras, I would not have been able to assist the homeowner so quickly. Flock gives our community real-time access to footage within our neighborhood to help solve crimes like this home invasion and theft. Also, Flock Safety iterates continually on their camera technology to make it better and better.”
