BRIEF: Cell phone rings up burglary suspect
Oct 26, 2009 (The Fresno Bee - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) --
Fresno County sheriff's deputies used a 22-year-old Visalia man's cell phone as bait to arrest him on suspicion of burglary after he allegedly dropped the phone outside a house that had been invaded.
Deputies were called to a burglary in progress in the 900 block of Fourth Street in Orange Cove about 3 p.m. Saturday. A man allegedly broke a window and climbed into the house, where motion sensors set off audible alarms. The suspect dropped his cell phone as he climbed out of the broken window, said sheriff's spokesman Chris Curtice.
Deputies found the cell phone and called people listed on the phone to contact him. When he called back, they made arrangements to meet him late Saturday night on the pretext of returning the phone. Deputies arrested the man and booked him into the Fresno County Jail on suspicion of burglary.
