Loot captures carjack suspect

February 06, 2012

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - Jersey City police say an accused carjacker was captured after a picture he took of himself with the victim's cellphone was automatically forwarded to her computer.

Omar Richardson, 18, was arrested this week. He remained jailed yesterday on $100,000 bail on armed robbery charges.

Police said the 20-year-old victim was carjacked Jan. 29 by a man wearing a ski mask who also stole her phone. The woman had a phone app that automatically sends all its pictures to her computer. She printed out the photo and gave it to police.
