“It is not clear what his intentions were once he arrived there with the victim,” Deputy Chief Chris Covelli said in a statement, “however, the victim indicated Luna-Carrasco made sexually suggestive comments after kidnapping her.”

The woman managed to jump out of the car near the intersection of Green Bay Road and Highland Avenue in Gurnee before running to a nearby house to get help, authorities said.

Luna-Carrasco was identified with the help of automated license plate readers, according to Covelli. Once investigators learned he had been driving a gray Durango, images from Flock Safety surveillance cameras were used to locate a matching car, which detectives were able to tie to him and identify him as a suspect.

The fixed-point cameras are currently in use by more than 20 Lake County municipalities and dozens of other suburban communities.

Data from the cameras are shared among law enforcement agencies, used for missing or endangered persons and criminal offenses rather than traffic infractions and deleted after a period of time.

After Luna-Carrasco became a suspect of the investigation, some unspecified “further investigation” provided the evidence to get a judge to sign off on a warrant for his arrest on March 22.

“This is another example of excellent police work by everyone involved, from our sheriff’s telecommunicators to our deputies who responded, to our detectives who put in an extensive amount of investigative work,” said Sheriff John Idleburg.

“Additionally, we were able to leverage Flock camera technology to help us further our investigation, which played a large role in identifying the offender in this case,” Idleburg said.

Last month, the Lake County Board approved the purchase of 15 more Flock cameras for use by the sheriff’s office.

Their precise locations have yet to be determined and will need to be worked out with the Illinois Department of Transportation, Lake County staff announced this week.

Atlanta-based Flock is valued at $4 billion and tells investors it covers about 70 percent of the population, according to a Forbes investigation published in February.

Citing public records requests and interviews with more than half a dozen ex-Flock staffers, Forbes reported IDOT officials chastised the company for erecting at least 38 unpermitted cameras in Illinois and repeatedly submitted requests “with the same problems/errors.” (The company reportedly fired its permit director last year.)

And in response to that criticism from Illinois transportation officials, one company official claimed to have helped track down accused Highland Park mass shooter Bobby Crimo, according to emails obtained by Forbes.

“I have been trying my hardest to stop all of these law enforcement agents from stopping down to your office because they are all extremely upset,” the surveillance startup advised the state transportation bureaucrat. “About 30 different police chiefs… We have asked them to please not stop into your office.”
