Police went high tech Thursday to find a woman's stolen iPhone.
The 24-year-old victim said she was sitting inside a store on Sixth Avenue when a man pointed a gun at her and took her iPhone.
Police began looking for the suspect with no luck until an officer used Apple's iCloud feature on his iPhone to make the stolen phone beep.
That's when police say George Bradshaw, 40, walked by on Eighth Avenue.
"I bend down and I hear it coming from his shoe. I lift up his right pants leg and there it was, tucked between his sock and the shoe was the phone," said Officer Robert Garland.
Bradshaw is charged with second-degree robbery and criminal possession of stolen property.
