Police found more surprises inside a white Mercedes-Benz that was stopped as part of a Southern California vehicle burglary investigation.
A resident's tip about a car possibly linked to a burglary investigation led Irvine police to a Mercedes-Benz equipped with a push-button rotating license plate and more surprises.
The resident reported the Mercedes-Benz to police after recognizing it as a car possibly involved in previous vehicle burglaries in the Orange County community. Officers who were already in the area pulled the driver over near Harvard Avenue and Main Street after matching the caller's description to the distinctive white sedan.
."Officers discovered a device that would flip the vehicle's license plate with the push of a button and an elaborate gas siphoning device that transferred fuel directly into the vehicle's gas tank."
