It's worth pointing out the police didn't say they couldn't find the owner of the vehicle. They're trying to identify who was riding it at the time. Those aren't synonymous. If the owner was riding it at the time, investigators need to confirm that beyond a reasonable doubt, and the owner would be under no obligation to incriminate themselves.
It amazes me that when they have a plate number... they can't find the owner of the vehicle.

Thank you Mr.MacPherson for the clarification
