Lock it up!

Hi,
I heard this phrase <Lock it up!> in the " Fast and furious 6 " .
The officer Hobbs when got out of the police car said that to the Dom's team when he got video footage of CCTV of the raid.
I'm an iranian and i want the definition of this phrase.
Thank u all.

Welcome!

I'm sorry, but without further context, it would be impossible to tell you what this means with any certainty. Can you explain further what is happening or what people are discussing?

Hi again,
The members of Dom's team was having fun and suddenly officer Hobbs came, by a police car.
In that scene dwayne johnson as officer Hobbs talks to the members of Dom's team about getting information about the Shaw's crew ( a criminal that is theire enemy) . here's the original text : " all right , lock it up. we got two things.
first off , this is the worst damn city in the world to commit a crime. they (Shaw's crew) got cameras on every street corner, I got video from CCTV of the raid ( Now he is giving that video to the one member of Dom's team)" and he goes on " let's track that, see where it leads us and secondly, we just got confirmation on what Shaw's crew grabbed from Interpol. they ripped off the database of every location that houses the final component that they (Shaw's crew) need." if it's not enough tell me to explain more, thank you.

Thank you for providing the background. You did an excellent job of summarizing the action. 👁 Smile :)


The two possible meanings I can think of are:
1) "Lock it up" is literal. They have to lock the room or building because they are about to leave.
2) [A guess] "Lock it up" is an idiom meaning 'stop doing whatever you are doing'. As I said, this is a only a guess based on context. If it is an idiom, it's one I've never heard.

Do either of these fit with what is happening?

I would just add that "lock it up" might mean "stop doing what you're doing" in the sense of "be quiet and pay attention."
