A 73-year-old woman, who was missing and considered endangered, is safe after Akron police found her nearly 500 miles away from her home.
The Akron Police Department is crediting the newly-installed Flock automated license plate reader system for providing the clues that helped track down the senior citizen and reunite her with her family.
In September, Deputy Chief Mike Caprez demonstrated the license plate readers to News 5 and said the cameras will help police spot stolen cars and vehicles used in other crimes, but he also stressed the system could be an important tool to locate missing people.According to family, the woman had traveled to Macungie, Pennsylvania and attended a dog show.
Her brother, Jeff, said worried friends from the dog show began searching wooded areas and lakes looking for any sign of her.Around 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, a camera positioned at Memorial Parkway and Uhler Avenue picked up the plate of a blue Subaru Ascent driven by the woman considered to be in danger.
Caprez is relieved the situation had a happy ending and that those who feared the senior was in trouble can now rest easy.
