Find my iPhone leads to arrests

Post by Stuart »

Apple’s iPhone has had its crime-fighting capabilities detailed before, but a new story today out of Atlanta (via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution) has its Find My iPhone feature helping to catch two suspects in an armed robbery case.

Crazy Footage of Robbers Driving Through the Glass Door of an Apple Store

Okay! This is nuts. These dumb idiots broke through the glass facade of a Los Angeles Apple store with A BMW SUV to rob its iPads, iPods, and iPhones. And were nabbed red-handed because the license plate got stuck in the metal grating.

The pair pled not-guilty to multiple felonies in court yesterday, which on the one hand driving an expensive SUV into the mouth of an Apple store sounds very fun and cathartic but on the other hand holy crap that footage is insane.
