A 41-year-old Pasadena woman was arrested Sunday after police used a global positioning system to track her to a stolen cellphone, officials said.
Yesenia Sanchez, according to the Glendale News-Press, was arrested and cited after admitting to finding the $525 phone outside a yard sale in La Crescenta and not asking its owner whether it was on sale because she was “afraid they would lie to her and keep it for themselves,” according to Glendale police reports.
The owner told police she placed her Motorola Droid 3 cellphone on top of a storage bin inside her garage as she tended to customers at her yard sale, but noticed it was missing about 2:45 p.m.
The cellphone owner helped police track it down by using an application used to locate lost or stolen phones, eventually tracing it to a home on the 1700 block of North Allen Avenue in Pasadena. The tracking system selected the same address three times, but then the phone appeared to be turned off. Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz said the cellphone’s owner gave officers permission to access the tracking system.
