Florida authorities used a victim’s iCloud account to track down three accused armed robbers at a Denny’s restaurant.
The victim agreed to meet the suspects, identified as Ellis Colon de la Rosa, Rafael Mayeta Castillo and Nomar Sanchez Figueroa, on Monday night to show the men electronics he was trying to sell, according to WPLG.
When the North Bay Village man got into Figueroa’s car with iPhones, sunglasses and laptops, one of the suspects allegedly put a gun to his head while the other two men took the electronics.
The three suspects then drove around with the victim, and before letting him go, threatened to kill him if he went to authorities, news outlets reported. Despite the threat, the victim went to police anyway and reported the crime, investigators said.
Authorities used the victim’s stolen iPhone to track the suspects back to a Denny’s in Coral Gables. Police searched Figueroa’s car and found the victim’s stolen property.
The three suspects were arrested and charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and armed kidnapping.
The suspects are jailed without bail.
