Cell Phone GPS Helps Police Nab Burglary Suspects

NEWARK, Del. (AP) - Newark Police say a GPS tracker in a smartphone helped investigators catch up with two burglary suspects. Police say the residents of a home on East Delaware Avenue awoke early Sunday to find two intruders in their apartment. The men, who got into the apartment through unlocked doors, fled with laptops, smartphones and the keys to a Nissan Maxima. Police say they used a GPS tracker on one of the phones to track 19-year-old Trey Miller of Hockessin and 20-year-old Fabian Evans of Wilmington to a Shell gas station, where they were arrested. Police say the pair had crashed the victims' car into a utility pole nearby. Each is charged with burglary, theft, criminal mischief over $5,000, conspiracy and other offenses.
