Australian police use Helicopter to retrieve a stolen iPhone
Quick Share:
That’s what you call using all available resources to get done with the task lying ahead. A lady’s iPhone was stolen in from a hospital northeast of the city of Melbourne. When the Victorian police were informed of the theft, they set out to apprehend the criminal and used a chopper to track down the stolen iDevice.
And look who came good in the chase. Apple’s MobileMe app’s Find my iPhone feature along with iPhone GPS app helped in tracking down the coordinates of the 16 year old boy who made a burglary attempt which was made unsuccessful by the authorities who had the presence of mind to call for a chopper and use iPhone’s tracking service.
The boy is expected to be charged with burglary, theft, possessing cannabis and handling the proceeds of crime.
