False Storefronts: False stores, such as pawnshops, are set up to lure in burglars to sell or fence their stolen property. Undercover operatives may also pose as fences to sting criminal pawnbrokers. Bait Cars: High-theft model vehicles are used as places under surveillance and/or contain surveillance equipment to capture offenders who are lured to steal them.
False Advertising: Ads are placed in newspapers and other media sources containing the names of wanted offenders and stating they have won a prize or the lottery. If the offenders appear to claim their prize, they are stung. The Internet: Ads are placed on eBay, Craigslist, or other Internet sites searching for/selling stolen property, providing fencing opportunities for burglars, and enticing child predators and participants in other illegal activities. Undercover operatives may hang out in juvenile chat rooms, providing opportunities for pedophiles to hook up for sexual activities with minors.
