questioning him and the voice on the other end was that of none other than the legitimate owner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>Sgt Wayne Mystar, the public information officer for the Police Service, announced at the daily news briefing on Tuesday at the Police Administration Building in the Port-of-Spain that police approached a man from Diego Martin after they noticed suspicious behavior on his part.&nbsp; \u201cKeen powers of observation by officers of the CID on patrol at the Port-of-Spain General Hospital detected a man acting suspiciously,\u201d Mystar told reporters.&nbsp; \u201cThe officers challenged the man and began searching him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>That was the point when the thief\u2019s luck really ran out.&nbsp; A cell phone on his person began to ring at that very moment, and his reluctance to answer the device further increased the suspicion of the officers concerned.&nbsp; The police themselves answered the ringing cell phone, to find the legitimate owner of the stolen cell phone on the other end.&nbsp; \u201cThe police became suspicious and, on answering the phone, a voice on the other end indicated that the phone was stolen,\u201d Mystar noted.&nbsp; Officers later established that the cell phone had been left by its owner in his vehicle in the car park of the hospital, from which it had been stolen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The 21-year-old Diego Martin resident was later formally charged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cell phone thief was in the wrong
