Deputies Track Down Robbery Suspects With Help From iPhone

LATHROP (CBS13) - Two robbery suspects were tracked down using the victim's stolen iPhone on Wednesday, according to the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department.

Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the 17000 block of Wood Creek Lane in Lathrop for a call of a robbery at 4:04 a.m.

When deputies arrived, they learned that the victim was sitting in his car near Towne Center and Golden Spike waiting for a friend who commutes to the Bay Area with him when he was confronted by two young black men, including one armed with a rifle.

They took his wallet, phone and keys and then got into a Buick parked nearby and fled.
A short time later, the victim called deputies back to say that his iPhone had been tracked to Ryde and Calriva in Stockton.

Deputies went to the area, located the suspect vehicle and arrested N'Cobe Williams, 19, and Lance Jett Jr. , 18.

Deputies also found a BB rifle with the stock broken off and the victim's phone and debit card inside the car.

Williams and Jett were booked at the San Joaquin County Jail on robbery and other charges.
