CAPE CORAL, Fla. — Technology's back at it again - this time helping a woman find her truck after it went missing while she was shopping in Cape Coral.
The Cape Coral Police Department says officers responded to a report of a stolen vehicle on July 25th at the 1900 block of NE Pine Island Road.
The victim said she went to shop at 12:45PM, returned to the parking lot, realized her pickup truck was gone and her key fob was missing.
Police say the woman believed she either dropped the key or accidentally left it in the car.
She called OnStar to lock the vehicle and turn the ignition off.
OnStar located the car parked off of Pine Island Road in North Fort Myers.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office was notified and picked up the truck.
No one was inside.
Surveillance video showed 3 people walking away from the truck.
On August 6th, police shared the video on Facebook- asking for further information.
A tip led to the identification of two of the three people in the video.
One person was identified as Christopher Andrew Clark ( DOB 01/26/1993), who was already in the Lee County Jail.
Another person in the video was also already in the Lee County Jail.
