Cops Use 'Find My iPad' To Track Down Morristown Thief: Police

MORRISTOWN, NJ — A Morristown man faces criminal charges including eluding police and receiving stolen property after attempting to flee in a stolen car after being stopped for speeding in Denville, according to police.

Police said they stopped the man, Justin Leuzarder, 39, on Aug. 14 at 4.24 a.m. after noticing him speeding on Route 10. When the officer returned to his police vehicle, Leuzarder, who had given police his driver's license, sped away from the scene, according to police.

"The officer pursued for a short distance, but ultimately broke off the chase because the identity of the driver was known," police said. "A short time later, the Randolph Police Department located Leuzarder's vehicle abandoned in the area of Dover-Chester Road, Randolph."

Police then discovered that the vehicle was not Leuzarder's and that it had been stolen from a house in Sea Girt.

Leuzarder was also discovered to be in possession of several stolen items, including an Apple iPad. Officers in the area were able to locate Leuzarder, who was still in possession of the items, using the theft victim's "Find my iPad" function, according to police.

According to police, Leuzarder was arrested and charged with evading the police, obstructing the law, receiving stolen property, driving while suspended, speeding, reckless driving and careless driving. He was taken to the county jail, according to police, pending a bail hearing.

According to the Sea Girt Police Department, additional charges for vehicle theft and other related offenses are pending.
