Welcome to another edition of the Apple Crime Log, where we dive into the world of Apple-related crimes. Today, we'll explore stories of FBI seizing a journalist's Apple devices, a stolen iPhone leading cops to a stash of stolen goods, and a drug deal gone wrong involving an iPhone theft. FBI Seized Journalist’s iPhone, MacBook Pros The FBI recently seized electronic devices, including an iPhone and MacBook Pro laptops, from Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson. A federal judge has ordered that the devices be preserved but not examined until further review. Natanson was investigating a government contractor accused of retaining classified materials when her devices were confiscated. This marks a rare occurrence of the government searching a reporter's home during a national security media leak investigation. Stolen iPhone leads Philippine Cops to Stash of Devices A stolen iPhone in the Philippines led police to a stash of 154 smartphones, mostly iPhones, resulting in the arrest of two suspects. The thieves had the technical expertise to bypass Apple's security systems, making it a rare occurrence among local technicians. iPhone, Marijuana Stolen During Drug Deal In a bizarre turn of events, a Florida man reported his iPhone and marijuana being stolen during a drug deal gone wrong. The suspects, identified as Trey Jacobs and Bridget Butcher, were arrested, and the stolen iPhone was recovered along with firearms and ammunition. Two Women Arrested for $15,000 New Jersey Apple Store Theft Two women have been arrested for stealing iPhones worth $15,000 from a New Jersey Apple Store. Angelina Miclescu and Irina Bacelan, along with two male accomplices who remain at large, are suspected of being part of an organized retail theft crew.
