Law enforcement officials received technical assistance investigating the explosion of a Tesla cybertruck loaded with fireworks and explosives at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a news conference on the day of the explosion that Tesla CEO Elon Musk assisted the investigation with videos taken at Tesla charging stations and the city’s license plate reading system (LPR). .

“I have to thank Elon Musk. In particular, he gave us a lot of additional information about how the vehicle was locked after the explosion due to the nature of the explosion force, and he also captured everything for us.” “He created the video from the Tesla charging stations across the country and it sent directly to us. So I really appreciate his help with that,” McMahill said.

“The first indication that this vehicle arrived here in Las Vegas came from a license plate reader, so the technology was very useful to us in solving the problem,” he added.

Retired New York City Police Inspector Paul Mauro told FOX Business in an interview that LPRs “have grown to the point where most cities, if not all, have license plate readers scattered throughout the city for various reasons.”

“With Musk on board, with a prosecutor who will actually issue the quick warrants that you need, with the exception of finding out in an emergency whether there is another terrorist attack here, whether there is a connection, etc., you will have all this information “received very quickly.”, very quickly,” he explained.

“From that and the LPRs these days, you should be able to put together a pretty accurate and detailed itinerary for this guy, and I’m sure they’re working on that right now, and I’m sure they’ve probably gotten most of it. “Yes,” said Mauro.
