FLOCK Camera Tech Nabs Stolen Car Suspect in Sacramento Source: Fairfield Police Department

On October 8, 6:15 PM, FLOCK license plate recognition cameras identified a stolen vehicle on Sacramento's Gold Hill Road. The technology has provided law enforcement with a valuable tool for tracking vehicles associated with criminal activity. FLOCK cameras have significantly contributed to regional security measures, facilitating crime prevention and resolution not only in California but across the United States.

FLOCK cameras detected a car that had been reported stolen, leading Officer Kimball to find the car at a convenience store on the 4700 block of Gold Hill Road. Upon reaching the location, Officer Kimball ordered the driver to exit. Ignoring the officer's orders, the driver rolled up the car windows, per the Fairfield Police Department.

More police officers were swift to arrive and surround the vehicle, barring the driver from escaping. Unable to avoid facing the heightened police response, the driver finally adhered to the order when the officers breached the car's rear window. Upon exiting, the driver was promptly arrested.
