GOLDEN, Colo. -- A handful of law enforcement agencies nationwide turn to RADAR to help arrest and prosecute suspect sexual predators.A 5 Investigates team was in the front seat of an undercover patrol car as investigator Mike Harris sped along a Colorado highway to meet a man who was led to believe Harris was a teenage girl.A 34-year-old man named Chris showed up in a parking lot to meet what he thought were two underaged girls for sex. Instead, he is met at gunpoint by a team of undercover investigators, including Harris.Harris is breaking ground as one of the first law enforcement officials to use RADAR successfully.
