Do you think you could possibly send a car there and see if the vehicle is around?

Let me see what it says about the offender information.
01:08
I don't see anything about the offender information.
01:13
Two or three, just a brief description of the offender would be a male,
01:17
Pale-like skin, Hispanic, or male black, wearing all black.
01:21

02:01
All right.
02:06
What's that, brake? Are these plates?
02:10
1102 Sam, is it occupied?
02:15
Can't tell if there's anyone in the vehicle.
02:17
All right, from a unit setting over there, use caution.
02:20
The vehicle is there at Iowa and Karlov just west and unable to tell if it's occupied or not.

03:34
We are obviously all 99, so 15 will be on Zone 3 as well.

04:31
No, it's called.
04:32
I copied all that.
04:33
I'm relaying that information of 15 right now.
04:36
Can you hold to tell them to just sit on that car for a few minutes while we figure out? Maybe we'll bring the victim over there and we'll figure it out.
