'Something out of a 007 movie': 2 burglary suspects arrested after Irvine police pull over Mercedes equipped with license-plate flipper
IRVINE, Calif. -- Irvine police located and pulled over a Mercedes-Benz sedan that was possibly involved in a series of vehicle burglaries -- and unexpectedly discovered a spy-type device that flipped the license plate.
A man and a woman were arrested in the case, suspected of using the car that authorities described as"something out of a 007 movie." The Irvine Police Department on Wednesday released a video clip that shows how the license-plate flipper on the white 2003 Mercedes C300 operates -- at the push of a button.
"Having it be sophisticated in that way, I've never seen that," police Sgt. Karie Davies told ABC7."The license-plate flipping device, that's a new one. In 19 years I've never seen that used in this way." According to a statement, police were investigating multiple cases in which a vehicle without a license plate was driven into parking structures to commit crimes. Before the Mercedes was found, it was unclear whether the plate was missing or concealed.
