A woman unwittingly took a photograph of herself as she tried to unlock an iPhone that had been stolen from a nightclub.
The iPhone was stolen from the Coalition nightclub in Brighton, East Sussex, earlier this month.
But the owner had installed an app that takes a picture of anyone trying to unlock it and then sends the information back to them via email.
When the woman tried to unlock the iPhone her picture was taken and sent to the owner. It was then passed on to Sussex Police. It is thought the app used is iGotYa, which is activated when an incorrect passcode is entered into the keypad.
Pc Gavin Crute from Sussex Police said the app photographs anyone trying to unlock it, maps their location and sends the information back to the owner. “We know where and when the photo was taken and it appears to be in a vehicle with quite a large sunroof.”
“We don’t know that the woman is the person who stole the camera, but she obviously has had some connection with it in the meantime and I’d like to speak to her about it.”
