- A Chicago man robbed a Radio Shack of $17,000 in merchandise, but police tracked him down quickly thanks to the global positioning equipment he stole, prosecutors said.
Raymond Jefferson, 20, is charged with tying up people who were at the South Side electronics store, stealing gear from the shop and fleeing Friday night before police captured him about two hours later. On Sunday, Cook County Judge Maria Kuriakos Ciesil ordered him held on $350,000 bond on charges of armed robbery and aggravated kidnapping.
[...] Among the stolen items, however, was global positioning gear that led officers to Jefferson, Caceres said, and he was arrested in the 3700 block of West Lawrence Avenue in the Albany Park neighborhood.
Priceless.
