GPS Application Helps Police Catch Thief

A GPS locator on a cellular telephone leads Salina police to a suspected thief.

Police say that during the noon hour on Thursday an Apple iPhone and a charger were stolen from a car parked behind the Stiefel Theatre in a public parking lot in Downtown Salina.

Police used a GPS application on the phone to locate it later in the afternoon in the area of Faith Drive.

After recovering the phone, police arrested 14-year-old Zachary Davis on charges that could include burglary and theft.
