Two Dunedin girls who allegedly stole an iPhone got more than they bargained for when the owner traced the phone back to their front door yesterday.
Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen, of Dunedin, said the iPhone had been taken from a vehicle in Dunedin earlier yesterday.
The owner used the "find my iPhone'' app on another device to track the iPhone to a Liberton address in Dunedin.
When police arrived, two girls aged 16 and 15 were spoken to and the iPhone recovered, he said.
The girls have been referred to Youth Aid.
