It wasn?t a clean get-a-way for two alleged thieves who stole 14 global positioning system (GPS) devices from the town of Babylon as the goods led police right to the suspects.

Police say the suspects broke into the trucks in the town?s public works storage yard on the Martin Luther King Day and stole 14 devices. Babylon Town Supervisor Steve Bellone says the town fired up its GPS system and followed a timeline of where the stolen goods traveled.

Police arrested a 13-year-old Lindenhurst teen and his father, 46-year-old Kurt Husfeldt, and 20-year-old Steven Mangiapanella. Police say Mangiapanella and the 13-year-old took the GPS devices because they thought they were phones and planned to sell them. The two face grand larceny charges. Police say Husfeldt was arrested for criminal possession of stolen property because he had one of the devices in his hands when the authorities arrived.
