The Los Angeles Police Department is currently searching for an individual who is suspected of stealing about $6,000 from a sightseeing tour employee. According to NBC Los Angeles, the suspect was wearing a Spiderman costume. Police detained other Spiderman impersonators in the area, however, they haven't been lucky with locating the suspect. If the individual is caught, it is more than likely he or she will be arrested and booked into a local jail until able to post their Los Angeles bail bond.

Police may have had more clues if a local city council member's idea is approved.

The Los Angeles Police Department may soon be using modern technology to work as a second pair of eyes in some of the city's neighborhoods to cut down on crime. According to ABC affiliate KABC, City Councilman Mitchell Englander recently proposed the city beef up its security by transforming some of the cameras used to catch traffic violators to work as a deterrent for criminal activity. Englander said he thinks the cameras would be a valuable asset to the community, especially after the Boston Marathon bombing. While the 460 cameras that are currently in place have been of assistance to the city's Department of Transportation, Englander said he would like to see if some of the cameras were modified. Not only does he think it would help the police be able to identify criminals easier, he added that it makes sense to do so because the city has already allocated funding into the infrastructure.

One of the primary issues Englander has with the systems is the fact that the devices don't take any pictures of the incidents. Since this is the case, it is impossible for law enforcement officials to review security tapes. If city officials decide to approve the modifications, Englander said that the cameras would be able to capture close of images of peoples faces and their surroundings, which was proven to be effective in the Boston police and government officials track down the perpetrators in Boston.

"We can add other technological enhancements, such as software with license plate recognition software," Englander said. "We also add recording capabilities so we can go back in time and search particular dates where we have known the suspect might have been or an incident might have occurred."
