all the cases are identified by licence plate

in one of the cases, the suspect could've gotten rid of their bpttle receipts and clothes to reduce evidence against them

Seems like covering your face, obscuring a license plate, parking a long ways away, riding a bike, and generally using clothing that are disposed of after may have stifled this investigation. I'm always surprised how so many people just drive to where they are going to do a crime with their cell phone on them.

I've seen shoplifters walking out of stores, giving the finger to security and even they had sense to remove their license plate before doing their thing.

Anyone taking their phone to commit a crime is really not understanding what a phone is and is capable of.

buy shit with cash, cover your license plate, ditch clothes, wear gloves, leave your mobile at home.

I would love to know more, especially how law enforcement is tracking us, but this has a paywall. So I guess I'll die in ignorance.

archive.is works for most news site paywalls

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It isn't paywall, just email

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

yeah but we don't wanna do that.
