LMPD officers arrest man and recover stolen motorcycle after Flock Safety camera alert

Louisville Metro Police say officers in the department’s Fourth Division arrested a 46-year-old man and recovered a stolen motorcycle after receiving an alert from a Flock Safety camera system. The incident, reported by LMPD on July 7, 2026, followed what the department described as a successful connection between camera-generated alerts and officers’ efforts to locate the vehicle.

According to WAVE, the suspect arrested after the camera alert was identified as Anthony Richardson. Police said the case began when the Flock Safety system issued information that helped narrow the motorcycle’s location for officers responding through normal investigative and enforcement channels.

The motorcycle recovery came during the course of the Fourth Division’s response, with officers locating the stolen vehicle after action tied to the camera alert, according to the report. LMPD credited the camera-triggered alert process with playing a role in the arrest and recovery, describing the incident as an example of how the technology can assist in vehicle-related investigations.

The report does not specify the exact time the alert was generated, the precise location where the motorcycle was found, or the charges filed in court. It also does not include details on whether the motorcycle was recovered in connection with a report to police that the bike was stolen, or what additional evidence was developed during the arrest process.

In Louisville, Flock Safety camera systems are part of a broader public-safety effort that law enforcement agencies use to help identify vehicles of interest, typically relying on alerts to guide where officers should look. In this case, LMPD said the alert helped lead officers to the stolen motorcycle and to the individual arrested shortly thereafter.

The next steps for the case will depend on court proceedings, including any formal filings by prosecutors and any hearings connected to the arrest and vehicle recovery. Residents can expect further information as the matter progresses through Louisville’s criminal-justice system.
