- BPD had a rash of catalytic converters stolen in town as well around the surrounding areas. Through the work of our police department and the Flock service, we were able to identify the vehicle and track down the suspect through the cameras, ultimately leading to an arrest, multiple charges in 6 jurisdictions, and seizing $26,000 in cash from the offender from stolen catalytic sales. - Another recent crime involved a check fraud at a local bank; using the Flock service we were able to identify the vehicle from the little information that was provided from the teller and identify the vehicle owner and suspect within 20 minutes of the incident. -August 2023 Success Story: An expensive motorcycle helmet was stolen from outside of the 7-11 convenience store in Bridgewater. The stores cameras were only able to capture part of the truck, giving us the color and body style. Using our Flock camera system, we were able to observe a truck matching the color and body style leaving the town on Dinkel Avenue. Using the license plate from the Flock footage, we were able to identify the vehicles owner. Officers went to the suspects home retrieved the helmet. This case was solved, and the property was returned to its rightful owner.
