Reference that call.
00:01
I'm in the West Alley, near Third and Harrison.
00:05
I've got eyes on a white F-250.
00:09
Do they have a picture of it that can send to me?
00:16
961, can you attach to a picture when you get one?
00:23
He's not down there yet.
00:25
Hey, Wall, are you listening?
00:30
RPC forza traffic.
00:35
One of the motor units has that vehicle in the alley near Third and Harrison.
00:41
He's requesting a picture to be sent to him if you can do that.
00:48
I'll have to go back in the bank.
00:49
However,
00:50
the video is very clear with that tag.
00:52
It's not a guess.
00:57
Hey wall, it's Motor One.
00:58
Right now this one's hooked up to a decent-sized dump trailer.
01:03
So I don't really have good eyes on the tag, but it's more of an extended cab version, not like a king cab.
01:12
That's why I need to confirm.
01:16
I'll go back aside here so I can grab a picture for you, but it is an extended cab in the video.
01:23
Okay, this might be the one then.
01:28
436 to Motor 1 in LPR, the passenger rear has damage to it.
01:39
Okay, I'm not seeing much damage, it's dirty though, so it could be hiding it.
01:51
Next 9-1621.
01:52
Give me just a minute and I'll put a picture with my call.
01:59
I put a picture of the attachments and that's from the 26th.
02:10
And I'll work on trying to get sent out to somebody on your side so they can get distributed on police form.
02:18
You want to send that to Detective A.
02:22
Wall?
02:25
Okay, one.
02:30
And motor one.
02:31
Motor one.
02:36
Motor one, go ahead.
02:41
It's going to be a pretty close match, but there's definitely damage on the rear passenger.
02:47
So it's possible they took the tag off of this one here and using it on the suspect vehicle.
02:59
Just come back indoors, I'm going to try to get a photo sent to you real quick.
03:02
Who am I sending you to?
03:07
Hey Wall, it's blitz, though, that's talking to you, but it sounds like he's already received a picture from 961.
03:15
Okay, copy.
03:21
And 961 is going to be sending you an email if you would like to put that out, please, for him.
03:26
I'll let you make that decision.
03:31
That'll be 10-4[1].
03:32
I have no problem with that.
03:36
Do there any red paint exchange on the driver's side back panel?
03:45
That I don't know because it's parked next to a fence on the south side of the address.
03:52
So I've only got eyes on the passenger side.
04:00
To the unit, this truck is red.
04:03
Motor one is looking at, definitely isn't it? It's still covered in snow.
04:11

04:33
You mean, I'll give you a better picture of the suspect vehicle.
04:42
PC4 the motor one.
04:45
Good.
04:50
Is it in a position where we can use a drone maybe to try to see if there's that paint exchange on the driver's side?
04:58
That's a possibility, let me take a quick peek.
05:06
Okay, no, there's no paint exchange on it.
05:13
