K9226 to Lincoln 100?
00:03
Oh Lincoln 100?
00:06
The damage you're seeing,
00:08
do you think that it would incapacitate the vehicle? Would you like more units out there to check the surrounding area to try to find that body? Or do you think it's not that bad?
00:19
So I don't think it's that bad.
00:22
But they may not be driving particularly far.
00:27
We got significant glass damage. They shattered a window of some sorts. I don't know which one, but they shattered one of them.
00:36
All right, ten-fourth.
00:38
That plate that Watts has definitely seems to be your vehicle. I don't know if you guys are able to or want to reach out to surrounding agencies and follow that tag out,
00:49
or you want to wait for video from the victim.
00:53
No, we're a three-no or anyone's going to teletype now to get that taken care of.
00:58
And the last tag manatee, you said Lehigh Acres. Do you mean Lee High Acres?

...patch to a silver Chevy Spark as of yesterday,
01:22
but it's hit three times in our county tonight upon an Audi SUV.
01:34
Okay, and it's not coming back to that audio SUV?
01:38
No, it comes back to a silver Chevy Spark.
01:45
Copy.
01:47
I'm pretty sure from the Bolo. It said that they were swapping tag, so I'm pretty sure it's a Hoff fleet.
01:58
2.48.
02:01
226, like 100.
02:03
To answer your question clearly, yeah, we got some people, wouldn't hurt to have some people kind of toward this area.
02:13
Okay, Blake and I were going to try to cover 70 in University for 75 in case for some reason they still are going to hit again on us.
02:22
But I can come out that way and help you, Candace.
02:27
No, if you guys are sitting there, that's fine.
02:30
I'll, uh, there's no need for me to be here. I'll go do some driving around.
02:35
I'm sure some other people listening will do the same.
02:43
...bringar 81 to K9, could you go to North too?
02:49
Saw!
02:54
Bringer 11 to Lincoln 100.
02:56
It's also 1039 to Palmetto. They're going to be checking all their banks and looking out for that tag in that vehicle.
03:06
2154.
03:08
Yes.
03:12
Given that it hit eastbound on State Road 64, we got a hit.
03:16
They're coming up,
03:17
US17,
03:19
at 130.
03:20
Can we make notification with Arcadia to kind of expedite them getting towards 70 or 64 in the event they're taking these back roads to get back?
03:33
Cameras out there, Sergeant, I don't think they've hit yet.
03:39
So,
03:40
I'm looking at a Vigilant, then they only got the one hit coming through 17 at 1.30, then it's nowhere else between that and then hit down flock at two,
03:51
whatever hit.
03:55
That's why I didn't know if that damage was incapacitating and their process were possibly even dumped it somewhere nearby, but we'll keep on.
