The first report on how Menlo Park's new mobile automated license plate readers are working was set to be delivered to the council on Tuesday, Nov. 18.

The report states that from July 1 through Oct. 1, the systems captured 263,430 license plates. Of those, 141 plates were tagged as being on an active wanted list.

"The vast majority of the hits were subsequently deemed to be a 'false read' after further review," it said.

One stolen vehicle was recovered, resulting in the arrest of the driver, according to the report.
