It was the perfect crime… if it weren’t for the fact that most of the things that are said on the internet are not true. Today we are going to tell you the story of Orelcy Hernandez Montero. A 54 year old man who he was dedicated to stealing phones in Miami and who has just been arrested thanks to the Search technology of the iPhone.

The funniest thing regarding all this is that every time he stole a phone, he wrapped it in plenty of aluminum foil to prevent them from having an internet connection and being traceable. For obvious reasons, his system didn’t work, and now he faces a few years in prison.

Caught red-handed

A week ago, according to reports WSVNa woman was quietly eating at a local restaurant when she realized that her iPhone was missing from her bag. She started looking for him in the area, in case he had fallen, but with no luck. After a few minutes that surely seemed like forever — we all know that feeling of thinking we’ve lost our cell phone — he remembered that his Apple Watch had a function to locate it, and he succeeded.

His watch guided him to the parking lot of the restaurant he was in, where he found a Jeep with his phone clearly visible. It was evident that the owner of the car had stolen it, so he called the police. As the situation was so obvious, the agents who came to the scene had no problem opening the car and return the phone to its owner.

In the process, the suspect appeared at the scene, who tried to flee by getting into an Uber, although without success. The police stopped him, obtained a warrant to search the vehicle and found no less than 17 phones, a computer and a wallet. They seized all of it and the alleged thief was taken into custody. Some devices had been reported as stolen and They have already been able to return them to their rightful owners..

As we mentioned at the beginning, this subject had wrapped the products in aluminum foil to prevent them from being traceable. Of course, the lady who started this whole story was able to track his iPhone without problem. It was the perfect crime, except that not everything that is said on the internet is true. We are glad that this woman has recovered her phone, that 17 other people are going to do it, and that this man has been arrested. Everything indicates that he will spend a few years in prison, which will surely come in handy to reflect on his conduct. Apple one, thief zero.
