$25.0.2, Sam. We're having computer trouble. Can you help us out? What kind of vehicle is that again, and what time is this recorded? Third party just called it in at 829, and they said it was a white Toyota with pink plate frame. 10-4[1], thank you. 2534. 2534. Black can you show me rolling with 14. 104. 2535. 2535. At this time, Walgreens doesn't want a report, so 19th call[2]. Can we get a personal on 25, please? Down 4. And when you guys come out, I got a disturbance for you on the beat. Down 4. Awesome 3-2. Austin 32. Awesome 32. All right, so supposedly, Mr. Derek. is going to leave, so we can give us a one, David. If they call back, it's a stupid submission. You got it, mail is leaving one David[3]. 1520. 1520. That's an FYI[4], 1512, had just contacted me. the text message stating that they didn't have any radio communication, but they just ordered up the removal service to free now. Okay, time for search. 5.02 fam. We're working on the plate, but we got like a white Toyota, small SUV at 826 hours, taking the red light going eastbound on Armitage, crossing Pulaski. So we're still working on the plate here. 10.4.25.0.2.2.2.25. Copy. Someone from the day chair, they do have footage. It's a male white. He's wearing a dark gray shirt and dark gray shorts. He's bearded, has like medium length there. He went inside the vehicle third passenger side and then went over to the driver's side and took off. Male white, medium length hair, blondeish, gray shirt, gray shorts, entered the vehicle through the passenger side, slid over to the driver's side and it took off. He doesn't have blonde hair, it's dark, either dark brown or black hair. All right, correction is going to be medium length, dark brown, or black hair. 25-0-2 Sam. No longer on scene. They're going to try to contact in her and see what she wants to. Okay, owner or not unseen, they're going to attempt to contact her. Time for... 25-02, Sam. Just checking if we can confirm it's a small SUV, correct? That would worry and know we're looking for the same vehicle here. I didn't think the Prius was an SUV, but... 2525? Negative. It's not a Prius. It's a white small SUV. I'm trying to see if you get some plates from the camera. Yep. It's the right vehicle. 2.502. Sam. It's not a Prius. It's a white small SUV. Morning, boy. Hey, I'm hitting into the job. Just turn my radio on. You guys looking for a white SUV. I'm assuming is the one that I just saw going the wrong way. Eastbound full return just crossed a high rate of speed of Pulaski still continuing eastbound. I'm assuming that's the vehicle you guys are looking for.

There's a mail down on the north side of the street, fires responding requesting police, and it looks like ambulance 23 is responding. Okay, do you put the auto passenger box, please? Okay, turn the box. They're still trying to get a plate either 25-25 on scene or 2502 Sam. Double-two-five. Double-two-five. Go ahead, double. No looking contacting the victim when they called. Someone else answered, my guest the phone was stitched over by Funston School, which is located on Central Park in Armitage. We're going to try contacting the husband now. All right, guys. Looks like Double 25, can you just slide over to 4135 Armitage? The owner of that vehicle is there, Rosario.
