Police Looking for Men After Stolen Phone Uploads Pictures of Them to Google Drive

Detectives in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania are hoping someone can identify two men they'd like to interview in the theft of a pizza delivery driver's car, cash and smartphone after photos of them were uploaded to the victim's Google Drive.

The driver was making a delivery for Best Quality Pizza in Lansdowne early Monday to the Park Lane East apartments along Beverly Boulevard and he returned to find his car gone, police said. Along with it, $500 cash and his white Motorola smartphone.

Police recovered the car a few hours later, but without the cash and phone. The phone's GPS tracking was also switched off.

Still active, however, was the automatic uploading of photos taken with the phone's camera.

The victim logged into the account Tuesday to find pictures of the young men, police said. One shirtless and tattooed with the Philadelphia skyline and LOVE statue, both holding a sawed-off shotgun.

"I was shocked," said the man who asked to keep his identity hidden."It would be nice if I got my phone back, but I think the most important thing is that they're off the streets."

The firearm in photos have detectives more concerned. They're hoping someone recognizes the men and notifies investigators.
