Onondaga County Sheriff Kevin Walsh says police already
looking for a suspicious person got the unlikely assist when one of the men “pocket
dialed” his cell phone’s emergency number while driving near the scene of an
earlier heist.
As a dispatcher relayed the conversation to deputies, the
men discussed their plans, described their surroundings and even commented, “There
go the cops now.”
Walsh says that was enough for a deputy to turn around and
stop the Kia Sportage full of tools stolen from a business in the Syracuse
suburb of Clay. The dispatcher then heard the driver being asked for his
license and registration.
The men arrested April 26 face grand larceny and stolen
property charges.
