A successful criminal would apparently cover his tracks, not leave them recorded on a cellphone.
But that’s what Duluth police said Andre Harris did recently when he broke into a vehicle, Channel 2 Action News reported.
“Gwinnett County is looking for me and basically I’m on the run,” Harris, 19, allegedly said while chatting on video with a friend. They also talked about marijuana and where to get rid of a stolen car, police said.
Officers say Harris left his phone on the front seat of a car he broke into this month.
“We found searches about how to break into vehicles and then we found a search on how to break into a side window of a vehicle,” police Officer Ted Sadowski said.
Harris stole the car from an apartment complex, possibly by breaking into a woman’s apartment and stealing her purse, Sadowski said.
Surveillance video showed him putting gas in the car, using cash he stole from the victim, Channel 2 reported.
Also, police said while driving the stolen car, Harris recorded videos on Instagram.
For now, he’s at large.
“I don’t think I’ve seen something this easy,” Sadowski said.
