VCAT searches for cut-and-run suspect | Crime

The Violent Criminal Apprehension Team (VCAT) is looking for Dequan Reid on outstanding warrants for robbery with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, and interfering with an eletronic monitoring device.

Reid was put on CMPD Electronic Monitoring when he posted $25,000 bond January 24, 2012. CMPD said he has a criminal history, including arrests for breaking and entering, weapon charges, assault with a deadly weapon, and auto theft.

Reid was last seen on Dedmond Drive near his residence. VCAT asks anyone with information about his whereabouts to call (704) 336-VCAT or call 911.

CMPD reports Reid is the 20th offender to cut off his monitor this year. Department data shows there were five fewer cut-and-runs at this time in 2011.
