In one case, Lark was able to make an arrest in a robbery from a jewelry store. Through interviews, he was told of a partial license plate of the robber's vehicle and used that to compile a list of possible suspects.
Once Lark had the robber identified, he obtained an arrest warrant and took the person into custody within three days of the crime.
