EDINBURG, Texas — Two men, 21-year-old Edgar Olguin and 19-year-old Jonathan Moreno, were arrested in Edinburg after investigators used a pair of AirPods to trace a stolen vehicle back to their residence. The arrests stemmed from an auto theft investigation on Tuesday evening around 5:30 p.m.
According to the Edinburg Police Department, the key to a stolen vehicle was found inside the car, which led investigators to use the AirPods left behind to track the vehicle. The investigation led them to a home on Flamingo Street, where Olguin and Moreno were found in possession of marijuana.
With the homeowner’s consent, officers searched the residence and discovered several stolen items, including a firearm. Investigators linked the pair to an ongoing case involving over a dozen vehicle burglaries and stolen cars.
