Find My Phone tracks stolen car with 5yo child inside it, allowing police to intercept

A stolen SUV with a five-yr-old boy in it was successfully intercepted by police in northwest Houston last night after the child’s father used the Find My Phone fture on his iPad to track an iPhone in the car.The father had left his son in the car while he ran into a store, when it was stolen.“The father had an iPad that he’d taken in with him and he utilized that iPad with the iPhone that was in the car and was able to track it,” said Lt. Wayne Schultz with the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s . “And the information was provided from our deputies to our dis, that was able to be communied through the Harris County Sheriff’s dis also and they were able to get information out to the troops in the field to where we could disseminate information in almost a rl-time environment to put it out to guys who were looking for the vehicle with the child in it.”Police stopped the SUV 15 minutes later and re-united the child, who was unharmed, with his father. The suspect was arrested.While we might raise an eyebrow at lving a 5yo child in a car on his own, credit has to be given for having the presence of mind in such circumstances to use Find My Phone in such stressful circumstances.
