A man with 117 previous convictions is sentenced to jail after gardaí use an iPhone tracking feature to identify and locate him following a theft. Multiple reports say the victim’s phone is stolen, and officers later use the phone’s “find my phone” function to track its location. Gardaí then find the suspect nearby at the location indicated by the device. The man is convicted and jailed for the theft of the iPhone. The accounts agree on the central sequence of events: the phone is stolen, the device is tracked using Apple’s “find my phone” feature, and officers locate the man based on the tracking information. They also agree on the defendant’s extensive criminal history, citing 117 previous convictions. The reports do not provide further details about the length of the sentence or the exact circumstances of the original theft beyond the use of phone-tracking to apprehend him.
