License plate technology helps find 2 stolen vehicles, suspects within hours
Police in Culver City are crediting license plate technology for assisting in the recovery of two stolen vehicles in a matter of hours over the weekend.
The cars involved in separate incidents were recovered Saturday afternoon, when officers received real-time alerts from their Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system, the Culver City Police Department posted on X.
The first suspect was found around 6 a.m. when the stolen vehicle was located on the 10700 block of Jefferson Boulevard. 'The driver was arrested without incident,' police said.
About two hours later, officers received another stolen vehicle notification and spotted the car near Sepulveda and Culver boulevards before conducting a traffic stop on the 4300 block of Sepulveda.
The driver was arrested for vehicle theft, and a passenger was also busted for drug possession, police said.
The Department described the incidents as 'another example of how technology and proactive policing are working together to keep Culver City safe.'
ALPR systems automatically capture an image of a vehicle and the vehicle's license plate and compare the plate number to one or more databases known as 'hot lists' of vehicles and then alert law enforcement officers, according to the California.gov ALPR FAQs page.

Albuquerque man sentenced for killing man outside of bar
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – An Albuquerque man who shot and killed a man after an argument over a pool table at a local bar has been sentenced to over 20 years behind bars. Story continues below News: Surveillance video captures crash involving off-duty officer that severely injured man Events: What's happening around New Mexico June 6-12? Albuquerque Pride Parade New Mexico Strange: Holy dirt and healing water: A look at NM's miraculous locations It was an emotional day in court Friday, as family members of James Silver asked the judge to give his killer, Jeremy Saiz, the maximum penalty, after he shot and killed the 38-year-old outside of Dragon Horn Tavern. 'Jeremy Saiz, you took my son's father,' said Silver's son's mother. 'No words can express how much I miss my little brother every day,' said Silver's older sister. It was last November at the bar, near Candelaria Rd. and Juan Tabo Blvd., that a confrontation broke out between Silver and the bar employee, Saiz, who was not on shift that day. After the confrontation, Saiz followed Silver outside the bar and shot him. Friends and family of the defendant also made their plea to the judge, asking for mercy. 'But I ask that you see him in his entirety, not only for his worst moment but for the man he always tried to be,' said Saiz's sister. Saiz addressed the court, saying, 'I pray that one day you will find it in your hearts to forgive me. You will forever be in my prayers.' Saiz took a plea deal prior to sentencing for second-degree murder with a firearm enhancement. The judge sentenced him to the maximum under his plea deal of 24.5 years in prison. Before this incident, online court records show Saiz did not have a significant criminal history in New Mexico. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

West Plains man charged with harassment after driving past coworker's house almost every day, sending letters
HOWELL COUNTY, Mo. — A man from West Plains faces a felony after sending his coworker multiple letters asking her out and even sending her boyfriend a letter pretending to be her. According to court dockets, Corby Redburn, born 1999, is charged with first-degree harassment. The probable cause statement says the victim reported the harassment to law enforcement in March of 2025, telling them she had received 11 anonymous letters delivered through the United States Postal Service to her West Plains home since November of 2024. The letters were romantic in nature, asking the victim go on dates. One letter offered her $150,000 to attend an event, the statement says. The victim said she was worried she was being stalked in other ways. During the investigation, Redburn, a coworker, was identified as a suspect. The victim stated Redburn approached her for a date in November of 2024, but she turned him down, telling him that she had a boyfriend. In an interview with law enforcement, Redburn confessed to sending the letters. Redburn told police he felt that he had a relationship with the victim, that she had broken up with him, and that the letters were an attempt 'to get her back.' However, the investigation revealed that the victim and Redburn had never had a personal relationship at any point, and Redburn had manufactured the belief they had been dating. Additionally, Redburn confessed to sending a letter to the victim's boyfriend, pretending to be her and telling him that she wanted to break up. Redburn also admitted to tampering with the victim's computer login at work 'to force her to contact him.' Furthermore, Redburn admitted to driving by her house 'almost every day,' the statement says. The criminal complaint says Redburn was a police dispatcher and obtained information from Omnigo — a criminal justice information sharing system that contains individually identifiable information — by searching to see if the victim had filed any reports against him in early March. The complaint also says Redburn used Omnigo to obtain the address of the victim's boyfriend. The case was docketed on Friday, June 6. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
