GPS Signal Leads Police To Suspect

A unique piece of technology has led police to an arrest in Chatham after a break-in at a local business.

The Keil Dr. business contacted police yesterday to say they were getting a GPS signal from one of the cell phones that was stolen during a break-in last Thursday.

Police were able to follow the signal to a location where all of the stolen electronics were located.

A 33-year-old Chatham man was arrested at the scene, charged, and held for a bail hearing, where he'll eventually get a future court date.
