Nov. 27—GLADSTONE, Mo. — A stolen car driving through Gladstone, Mo., led to the arrest of a man wanted in a three-year-old murder in Wisconsin. And it was made possible by a license plate reader, which is new technology in that city and gaining popularity in law enforcement agencies across the country.
Karl Burris, support services commander for the Gladstone Police Department, said the license plate reader spotted the Ford Fusion with a stolen tag shortly after midnight, into early Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 23. Officers went to the area where the car had gone by the plate reader.
