Last Tuesday, Forsyth County deputies said they caught, Abraham Castro Araujo on camera, stealing an Apple watch that FedEx had just delivered. The sheriff’s office said they’ve had several porch pirate cases in the area.
Detectives used technology to find Araujo and the blue Ford Escape he was driving. That software was able to follow the Escape all around metro Atlanta.
Araujo drove the SUV to Athens, and one of their detectives found the SUV at an apartment complex in the area and identified the suspect.
