CMPD's bait vehicle fleet is a broad representation of the cars stolen most often in Charlotte. The bait cars are placed in locations and with methods determined to have an increased risks of theft. Due to the overwhelming evidence in bait vehicle thefts and arrests, the Mecklenburg County District Attorney aggressively prosecutes these individuals.
On May 11th, a deployed bait vehicle was stolen in the Westover Division at 9:12 pm. Within minutes, the vehicle was surrounded and safely disabled as designed, resulting in the arrest of three individuals. One of the suspects arrested was a juvenile, so I am unable to publish the name. The two adult suspects that were arrested and charged are: DeAngelo McAdams and Dedrick Flowers.
Based on the investigation, a fourth suspect is being sought for questioning at this time. Anyone with information on the identity of this 4th individual is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 704.334.1600. This marks the 49th arrest since the 'bait vehicle' program was started in Charlotte.
