On July 10, 2016, at about 1830 hours, Kalamazoo Public Safety Officers were notified by a concerned citizen regarding the larceny of a phone. A citizen reported having their phone snatched from their hand in the area of 200 S Kalamazoo Mall.

With the assistance of eye-witnesses and the use of a GPS cell phone application Public Safety Officers were able to track the stolen phone to a residence in the 1000 block of N Church. Once at the residence, Public Safety Officers located the stolen phone and were able to return it to the victim.

The suspect, a 14 year old resident of Kalamazoo was lodged at the Kalamazoo County Juvenile Home on a charge of larceny from a person. Charges are also being sought against an additional person for their involvement.
