Man Who Robbed Radio Shack Found Using GPS He Stole

April 11, 2012 at 8:39 am by  

Man Who Robbed Radio Shack Found Using GPS He StoleChicago, IL - Police were able to track down a man who robbed a Radio Shack store using the global positioning equipment that was stolen in the robbery.

According to police, Raymond Jefferson, 20, entered a south Chicago Radio Shack Friday night, threatened the people inside with a handgun, bound them with plastic ties, took their cell phones, and then fled with $17,000 in electronic merchandise from the store.

Unfortunately for Jefferson, among the stolen items was one or more with global positioning that reportedly led officers to him. Police arrested Jefferson approximately two hours after the robbery.

It is clear that the quick apprehension using the GPS technology saved both time and effort. Not so long ago, Jefferson would have been forced to take a photograph of himself alongside the merchandise using a stolen camera, upload it to the internet using a stolen laptop, and then contact police using a stolen phone to direct them to the evidence of his crime.

Technology rewards us in so many ways.

Jefferson has been charged with armed robbery and aggravated kidnapping. He is currently being held on $350,000 bond.

      Well of course he was using GPS. It’s not like he can actually SEE where he is.

      Love the write-up kniption, made me laugh to start the work day :)

    • DangerousKindOfSnark

      Every so often he pulls one out of his ass that just makes me giggle like a dork.

    • Andy P

      He doesn’t look very smart.   …..or very pleased in that photo.  Fucking dumbass.

    • OutOfBubbleGum

      I didn’t know Radio Shack sold electronics, but for $17,000.00 dollars, I’m guessing he took 50 feet of coaxial cable.and maybe a two way cable splitter.

    • EveryVillainIsLemons

      If only every case in Chicago was this easy to solve!

    • Zazen

      He pulls them from his ass? No wonder he’s on D’D, he’s a natural!

    • JGo555

      YOU FUCKERS! Of course he had to use that GPS! The GPS is the oldest system that he could work with & try to modernize it with the crappy technology we have in earth so he could get back to wherever the fuck he is from.

      He was on his way to the tattoo parlor to have “LOSER” tattooed on his forehead since the stolen GPS only notified the police of this fact.

      Derrrrp!

      You gotta be smarter than the shit you steal.  He should have stuck with small time petty theft and not ventured into the big boy crimes. 

    • Gee

      Don’t lie we all know your a dork anyways  :o )

    • Gee

        Technology just brings out the stupid a lot faster these days.

      From the photo I wouldn’t say this guy is bending spoons telekinetically in his spare time. I guess best you can say is he didn’t rape and/or kill the employees.

      This needs framing and hanging in the guy’s cell……
