'Gotcha' app leads to arrest of 3 suspects in Richland Hills burglary

Call it the "gotcha" app.

Burglars who broke into a Richland Hills home on Monday -- while a 14-year-old girl hid in a closet -- were arrested later in the day when police tracked them to an iPhone they had stolen.

"Once one of our officers found out that an iPhone was taken, an app was used to find it," Richland Hills police Sgt. Nathan Stringer said on Tuesday.

Domingo Ramirez Jr. has more in this report.
