MENTOR, Ohio (WJW) — Traffic cameras are scanning thousands of license plates throughout the city of Mentor 24 hours a day.

“We’ve installed 15 cameras in strategic locations throughout the city,” said Mentor Police Chief Ken Gunsch.

The license-plate reading cameras are mounted near entrances to the city of Mentor along I-90,  Route 2 and along Tyler Boulevard, the city’s main manufacturing corridor.

Gunsch said, “If any of those vehicles are stolen or there’s a warrant associated with it, or a missing person or various other reasons, it will send a notification to officers out on the street.”
