Yes, ma'am, I came across 46 right here at April Lane and Courtright.
00:06
Um,
00:08
I'm gonna move it out the west.
00:11
I copy that.
00:16
9.3, is that vehicle a cream-colored Toyota by chance?
00:21
Uh,
00:22
yes, yes, it's a cream color.
00:27
I copy, just making sure we did have a six-eight pending with that description.
00:34
Okay,
00:35
lesson plate, King George Frank (number withheld).
00:40
I copy.
00:46
It's unoccupied, so if you check as he's stolen.
00:53
It's coming back, blank.
00:59
Okay.
01:05
And it's signed as registered to a Lauren Evans at near Cool Airway on that white 2012 trailer.
01:14
Okay.

9309.
01:26
Go ahead. Yes, ma'am, this is so weird.
01:29
It was no one in a driver seat, it was just sitting right, you know, like they were trying to make it into the driveway,
01:36
but it was like blocking.
01:39
That is odd.
01:41
Yeah, no one was in there, so I feel like it was stolen.
01:47
Right, yeah, but it's not coming up as one anywhere.
01:50
I can see if there was any wrong with that tab, too.
01:53
Okay, yeah, that'd be great.
01:55
So make it go back, the key was the right-needing ignition.
02:03
Hey, Ray, do you need help moving that?
02:09
Yeah, I did move it.
02:10
I moved there right on to the parking lot.
02:12
It was, I moved it with no problem, so I don't know why, I have no clue.
02:20
Nice, are you, Sevacker?
02:24
Okay.
02:25
All right, just to confirm, that tag is King George Frank (number withheld), correct?
02:35
Okay.
02:40
Yeah, it looks like actually there was a 45[1] called in.
02:45
It looks like Unit 14 is still out on that, so it's in the process of being a 45[1].
02:53
Okay,
02:55
it's 14 still with the victim because the vehicle is right here unoccupied.
03:02
It does not look like they're still with the victim.
03:04
They're out elsewhere taking paper, but I'll let Channel 1 know.
03:11
Okay, yeah, if they want to bring the victim over here to this location,
03:17
I sit here with this until they come.
03:21
I'll copy that. I'll let you know.
