On January 1, 2020, at approximately 5:56 a.m., a North District General Patrol unit observed a truck travelling on Inkster Boulevard at Keewatin Street with no lights and no licence plates.

The police unit caught up to the vehicle in the 100 block of Kinver Avenue where it came to an abrupt stop.
