US Police Track Thief Using The iPad He Stole

A Florida man was arrested for stealing an iPad after the police were able to track the device's location. The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office received a call on December 14 from Legacy Contracting Solutions about a theft at their facility on Garden road, reported Wtfl.com. The supervisor complained that someone smashed the window on four of their company vehicles and stole several tools including an iPad.

To the thief's disadvantage, the police used iPad software to track its location. They used FindMy app on the stolen device and tracked its location to a shed on West 12th Court. The suspect was identified as Troy Lee Bellamy, 62, the media outlet reported.

Bellamy told the police, "I knew that thing would track me."

He was charged with burglary, grand theft and criminal mischief.

Earlier, a man who was trying to run away with luxury stolen goods from a Louis Vuitton store in Washington was caught on camera running into a glass window. The incident took place in Bellevue. According to the police, the 17-year-old thief ripped handbags off the display worth $18,000 in broad daylight. But as he tried to run out of the store, the thief ran into a plate glass window, knocking himself out, KOMO News reported.

"Brazen is the perfect word for it," KOMO News quoted Bellevue Police Captain Rob Spingler as saying.

The thief mistook the clean glass window for open space as he attempted to flee with stolen luxury goods, the outlet further said.
