Flock License Plate Readers Lead Missouri Police to Suspects in $151K Casino Heist

Missouri authorities have praised the state’s Flock license plate reader network for enabling the swift capture of two suspects involved in the theft of more than $151,000 from a Buchanan County gaming property on Sunday morning, Oct. 25. St. Jo Frontier Casino alerted law enforcement at approximately 10:30 a.m. after security personnel reported that two suspects had earlier called the riverboat facility, falsely claiming management had authorized the pickup of a cash box. Per the Missouri State Highway Patrol, an employee mistakenly treated the request as valid, leading a security supervisor to hand over a box containing upwards of $151,000.
