It began in 2015 when Law Enforcement noticed an increase in the number of zip car thefts specifically. This was the culmination of the investigation that began in 2015 with the warrants beings executed both yesterday as well as earlier this week on tuesday.

He said that some people had suggested it would be a cold day in expletive before this would come together, these Law Enforcement agents would come together, but obviously they did. And i think we may have some sound to share with you from the press conference that just wrapped up a few moments ago.
