Selfie uploaded to burglary victim's account, using her stolen device

[zwiebel]

LA County Sheriff's Office says someone has uploaded this selfie to a Santa Clarita burglary victim's cloud account - using a device stolen in the burglary.

'The victim doesn't know the pair, who are considered "persons of interest," and investigators want to talk to them, Dubin said.'

' "Did they buy stolen property? I don't know. Or are they the residential burglary suspects?" Dubin said. "There needs to be an explanation as to why their selfies are showing up on this person's cloud account." '

The young man has turned up at the Sheriff's with his parents, who are demanding an apology.

' "I didn't steal it,'' he told NBC4. "I went to a swap meet and my aunt bought it for me," Larry Beltran Jr. said.'

'Beltran's aunt said she picked up two iPhones for $80 and gave one to her nephew, thinking she got a bargain.'
