Baltimore residents using license plate readers to fight carjackings

Neighbors in south Baltimore are frustrated with recent carjackings and auto thefts and they have decided to fight back. Residents are installing license plate readers on certain streets. Three community associations worked together to get the devices. “Our team of volunteers know Baltimore Police Department is understaffed. Our volunteers know there have been over 10,000 cars stolen in our city this year,” Federal Hill Neighborhood Association spokesman Brad O’Brien said.
