A suspect was arrested, and Hirasuna said at least three people were in the vehicle.
That wasnt the end of the story.
Officers discovered blood on the inside of the passenger door, and the vehicle was impounded for prints.
This certainly changes my perspective on how to park my car, Hirasuna said.
Im going to put it in valet mode, which wouldnt give them access to the trunk.
Everything in my car is gone.
And it means they couldnt drive that fast.
