A Southeast Michigan man was arrested on charges relating to nearly $10,000 of damage to license plate reader cameras in Oakland County's Waterford Township.
Police said the investigation began Feb. 23, when they learned that several devices known as Automatic License Plate Readers in the township were no longer active. When they went to the locations to inspect the devices, officers learned that the cameras had been broken off their mounts and smashed into pieces.
As it turns out, detectives said, one of the cameras had picked up an image of the suspect's vehicle and license plate as it drove by, about the time that the vandalism happened. But that camera system only picks up images of vehicles and license plates.
