Three people were taken into custody in downtown Binghamton after a vehicle that had been reported stolen triggered a "hit" on a license plate reader.

City police patrols were advised to be on the lookout for a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The license plate reportedly prompted a plate reader alert in the area of Town & Country Apartments.

Police spotted the car a short time later on Chenango Street. The occupants of the vehicle ran off after it stopped on the viaduct approaching Lewis Street.
