Ring for the Win
On April 7, officers took a residential burglary crime report. The victim had a Ring camera which captured video of the suspect at the front door. The stolen items included jewelry, credit cards, a laptop, and a coin collection. On April 13, a different officer located a suspicious vehicle. The occupant was the same individual in the video from the burglary on April 7 and was in possession of a laptop. The laptop matched the exact make/model/serial number from the laptop that was reported stolen.
