The victim I'm with ASR deputy,
00:06
this person had scammed her out of twenty five thousand dollars so far.
00:11
And we had the person come back tonight allegedly to come grab their box for money.
00:16
I'm at the Vigoo's house.
00:18
The car shows up to be a white SUV,
00:21
unsure on the tag,
00:23
possibly a male of dark skin color.
00:26
Based over the house, on the ground, them.
00:28
I don't need any units to be in the open cell bar.
00:31
So either dark and blackout somewhere,
00:34
or just don't been out of the roads.
00:37
You said the victim's a deputy?
00:40
Stand for it. The victim is a deputy.
00:43
There's only two ways in.
00:45
There's 82nd Boulevard from Westchester and 73rd Avenue from Blue's Creek.
00:49
So if we get those two, there's nowhere for them to go.
00:53
It might be worth getting in on-arch as well.
00:55
No, we have four units.
00:56
1014.
00:57
It's 104. If we can do it, if we get it on-mark, that'll work.
01:02
Like I said, I don't have a tag.
01:04
I just know it's going to be a white or silver SUV.
01:06
The video I got ain't too great.
01:08
I cannot get a face-out on the person.
01:09
Just dark color skin.
01:12
If it does show up while I'm here, key word is Alpha 4 on 1012.
01:17
So I'm going to go hands on the person.
01:20
Alright, I just want to say stay out of sight, be ready.
01:23
So we'll get the roads shut down, but we're not going to be in the open.
01:28
So just give us the word we got you.
01:30
4104.
01:32
Any questions? If not, I'm going to grab the unmarked.
01:37
I'm sure Rapids will be okay for a deputy victim.
01:41
Okay.
01:42
How long ago was this person supposedly en route, do we know?
01:47
They're not giving an ETA.
01:49
There's a saying that they're going to have someone sew up.
01:51
The last message I got was take a photo of the box and they'll make sure that it's picked up and secured.
01:58
Okay, simple.
01:59
I'll forward to Lima, 785.
02:01
