Underwear thief used Instagram location data to find victim’s homes


Asked why he did it, suspected burglar Arturo Galvan reportedly told police:

“I wish I knew."

Computers, iPads, TVs: those valuable items make burglary sense.

But bras? Panties?

There was, apparently, a sexual component to the burglaries, police said.

In fact, the targets were college-aged female victims, and police believe that Galvan hunted them down by using the location data from photos posted on Instagram and other social media sites to pinpoint where they lived.
