A squad, can we get a tow to come back out to pull the vehicle from the scene? I just want to make something clear. There is no structural damage to the property.

All right, 902 sam is saying that he thought the Honda that was left on scene had a frank paw plate.
02:29
Can you mobile with 914 to confirm the plate, please?

02:40
914.
02:44
914, can you confirm the plate on that Hyundai?
02:51
And for the frank paw plate that we gave and we were on scene is a fictitious plate. It comes back to the Chevrolet, but that's the one that is on the vehicle.
03:04
All right, so that zebra victor 80340, is that plate on the vehicle or are we just going with the van?
03:16
Stand by. The plate this on the vehicle is on the rear of the vehicle, which is hard to get to. So, stand by.
03:28
And 14, we made you an X car.
03:36
I don't understand yet. I believe you just go with a van on that Hyundai,
03:40
because the original plate is at the zebra victor, which was originally on that Hyundai, so I believe just go with that van probably.
03:47
All right, 10 is 4? And 914,
03:57
is the E.T. on scene or just ordered?
04:04
914,
04:05
we already had an ET[2] on the scene. He already took pictures.
04:10
We are currently securing the crime scene right now because we need to wait for a building inspector to clear this for a tow to pull it out. All right, 10 weeks and now hold off on the order in the tow.
