ST. LOUIS (AP) - St. Louis police have arrested a 17-year-old boy who they say uploaded a selfie with a stolen iPhone.

KMOV-TV reports (https://bit.ly/ZPwrVO ) Thursday that the boy has been charged in the theft of a 16-year-old girl’s phone at a train station. Authorities say they received multiple tips after releasing a photo the teen took of himself.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department says the phone was stolen on Sept. 19 at the Delmar train station. The victim tells police she found several pictures of the boy on her iCloud account several days later.



The Associated Press doesn’t typically name juveniles accused of crimes.
