People who who commit crimes and think they can get away undetected using Port Authority bridges and tunnels better think again.
On Monday, the bi state agency and law enforcement and elected officials commemorated the near completion of a $10 million program to install the latest generation of automatic license plate readers at its six bridges and tunnels between New Jersey and New York.
New York State Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, D-Staten Island, said her family experienced it first-hand.
“My cousin’s car was broken into, and it was found in New Jersey, and that helped spark conversations about these license plate readers,” she said. “We know how important the interchange information is between the state and New Jersey.”
