Phila. Police Seek Cell Phone Thief Who Snapped Himself



by KYW's Ian Bush

Philadelphia police are looking for a gun-toting robbery suspect whom they say took a picture of himself with the camera phone he stole.

The theft happened in early October, along the 1000 block of Nedro Avenue in Olney.

A woman says she was approached by a guy who put a gun to her neck and demanded that she drop her possessions. Police say he grabbed her bag and cell phone and ran.

But authorities were able to remotely access the images on the device, and they say the suspect photographed himself with the weapon he used during the robbery.

Anyone with information is asked to call Northeast Detectives at 215-686-3353.
