Police use "Find iPhone" to catch burglar

On January 6, 2015 a residence in Lake Forest Park was burglarized between the hours of 8:15am and 7:00pm.

On the same day Shoreline PD responded to a burglary less than a half a mile from the city occurring within the same time frame.

Shoreline officers were able to utilize the “Find iPhone” utility to track the victim’s stolen iPhone. 

This provided close to real time updates for the cell phone location. Shoreline PD was able to locate the suspect and arrest him. Multiple stolen items were found with the suspect to include items from LFP's burglary.

Shoreline Detectives are continuing to investigate for other potential burglary victims.
