Highway Cameras Catch 4 Stolen Cars In 1st Week Of Recording

More than a dozen cameras set up along Highway 4 in the East Bay to monitor crime are already paying off for police in the first week. They were installed to help stop and solve the shootings on the busy highway. But in the first six days since these cameras have been fighting crime of another kind. “When we were able to put the license plate readers on, we knew they were going to be a benefit, but I don’t know that we knew we’d have this much ability to locate and recover stolen vehicles, get those cars back to the owner, and arrest the ones stealing them,” Pittsburg Police Chief Brian Addington said.
