Stupid criminal trick
CINCINNATI - Police say modern technology foiled an old-fashioned bank robbery.
A teller placed an electronic Global Positioning System device in a bag of stolen money, allowing police to track down a suspect in just 42 minutes Thursday.
Authorities said that after William Ingram, 46, left a U.S. Bank in suburban Colerain Township, the GPS device tracked him to a car dealership in Hartwell, where he was returning a Honda that he had borrowed for a test drive but actually used as a getaway car.
When Ingram was confronted, money began spilling from his pockets, officials said.
