What happened
Flock Safety cameras are being installed across Minnesota to help law enforcement track stolen vehicles and investigate crimes. However, the Winona Police Department reported that eight Flock cameras were stolen and vandalized, with the camera poles chopped down at the base. The thefts were reported to have occurred between July 29 and August 1.
Why it matters
Flock Safety is a large provider of Automatic License Plate Reader systems. The theft and damage of these surveillance assets represent a financial loss for law enforcement. The replacement cost for each camera and pole is estimated to be about $3,000.
