Phone’s ‘find me’ app leads gardaí to bag thief

A thief who stole a handbag from a woman attending a conference did not realise the smart phone inside the bag was very smart indeed, and would lead gardaí to his car parked nearby.

A “find me” app on the woman’s iPhone helped lead gardaí to 37-year-old Ahmed Malik Iftikhar, a 37-year-old Pakistani national.
