Stolen iPhones from an Apple Store Remotely Disabled, Started Blaring Alarms

Earlier this week looters who stole iPhones 'got an unexpected message from Apple,' reports the Economic Times.

'Please return to Apple Tower Theatre. This device has been disabled and is being tracked. Local authorities will be alerted.'

Stolen phones 'were remotely locked and triggered alarms, effectively turning the devices into high-tech bait. Videos circulating online show the phones flashing the message while blaring loudly, making them impossible to ignore.'

According to LAPD Officer Chris Miller, at least three suspects were apprehended in connection to the Apple Store burglary. One woman was arrested on the spot, while two others were detained for looting.
