Somerset Counties h is close to 30 units at this time. The type of 
radios stolen have been Motorola 2500 radios value at approximately

activated causing entire trunks to be compromised.The FBI has been 
called in to handle the investigation.

   Okay, glad you received it this time. 


   This is the 3rd time that radios have been stolen from
this FD in the last month
  or so, making a total of 
10 portables total. On the earlier units, there were
some instances of intentional interference before the
units were removed from the trunking system 
master computer (using mandown as well
as key down on a number of talk groups).


   The Hunterdon radios could not be turned off
remotely since they were not on a trunking radio
system.


   Based on the total value at this point ($35,000)
I am sure the PD will be placing more effort on
the investigation.


Regards,
Doug
