When driving in stolen property, there is no need to jam to tunes in the vehicle. A car theft suspect was an easy catch for cops when he had his device connected to the stolen car. There was no need to run their fingerprints in a system when the car directly linked to an iPhone with the suspect’s name.
In a carjacking incident at a park in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, the victim had two people following her with their threatening behavior. They demanded her cell phone and car keys.
It was a speedy investigation as the cops got a hold of the car a few hours later. As for the crooks, they abandoned the car and ran away.
During the investigation, a security guard from Westinghouse High School was able to identify the suspect from a bus surveillance video. Darrell Cammon Jr, a 19-year-old was one of the two thieves behind the car theft. The Bluetooth proved the connection since his device was plugged into the stolen car under the name “Darrells iPhone.” Clear labels didn’t help his case.
The technology failed the former student but it worked out in the favor of the victim and police.
