That’s a good idea
July 8, 2009 | Kentucky, alternatives, industry | Comments (0)Pawnbrokers in Elizabethtown, Kentucky are working with the city officials to crack down on crime:
Council members on Monday approved the first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 112 of the city’s Code of Ordinances. The amendment would require pawn shops and pawnbrokers to join LeadsOnline, a database that tracks stolen property and those suspected of the theft.
Elizabethtown Police Department already has established a partnership with LeadsOnline.
By requiring participation in the database, the proposed ordinance would simplify the department’s search for stolen goods, which may pass through a pawnbroker’s hands, EPD Spokesman Virgil Willoughby said. The department would have access to the inventory of each store and could match serial numbers with those of stolen items.
