A mobile app has lead police to a hoard of stolen purses.
Criminal masterminds caught by tracker
A duo of robbers tried their luck earlier this week when they allegedly smashed windows of a series of cars and snatched keys, textbooks and a MacBook near Salt Lake City in Utah.
But they came unstuck when Taylor Hill and Gentry Philips - who were the victims of the crime - used the Find My iPhone app on his phone to track the laptop to an address in Taylorsville.
According to KLS TV, Mr Hill contacted the police and a squad of officers spotted the computer inside a car and waited for the vehicle owners to return before arresting the couple, who were later identified as Tyler Angelos, 28, and Elisha Wiley, 26.
Investigators went on to uncover between 250 and 300 purses, bags, mail, laptops and other electronics they believe had been stolen by the young pair.
Unified Police Lt. Brian Lohrke said: ''(Police) took them in custody, ended up writing a search warrant not only for the vehicles but the residence they came out of. Right now, we're looking at hundreds and hundreds of cases involving vehicle burglaries from the Salt Lake Valley.''
