IPad tracker leads police to suspects

STOCKTON - Technology got the better of two suspected robbers who thought they had gotten away with an Apple iPad after punching the reluctant victim in the face and throwing him to the ground before fleeing with their treasure Sunday morning in a van driven by a third suspect.

The victim, 21, activated the iPad's tracking application that led police officers to a residence near the attack at 10:26 a.m. at Ishi Goto Street and Brick & Tile Circle in Weston Ranch. The victim was able to identify the suspects and his iPad was recovered.

Police arrested Da'Sean Murphy and Andre Lamar Beard, both 18, on charges including robbery, possession of stolen property and conspiracy, according to the report.
