Burglar jailed after app in stolen phone tracked him
Glen Muldoon, aged 20, stole an iPhone and laptop in the first house he burgled. When the couple noticed that the phone had been taken, they started the app on a second laptop and were able to pinpoint the location of the phone.
Muldoon, of Kiltalown Hill, Tallaght, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to the three burglaries in Grange Abbey Crescent, Donaghmede, on Nov 13, 2011. He has 53 previous convictions.
