The “Find My iPhone” application helped police catch a robbery suspect in Hermitage.

According to an affidavit, David Smith was arrested early Monday morning after he allegedly stole a woman’s purse from her shopping cart from the Kroger shopping center at Andrew Jackson Way and Old Hickory Boulevard.

Melanie Mundy was loading groceries into her car on Sunday when a black Chevrolet Yukon pulled by as someone inside the vehicle grabbed her purse.

The 66-year-old woman and two time cancer survivor realized what was happening and also reached for it, holding on and being dragged, the report stated.

Mundy fell down, breaking her arm. She also sustained bruises and scrapes all over her body and may have to undergo surgery for her broken arm.

Mundy told News 2 she believes the suspect was watching her in the parking lot prior to the incident.

“I think he was looking for someone that would be easy prey,” she told News 2.

Detectives were able to get a suspect and vehicle description from the victim, witnesses and store surveillance video, according to the report.

The victim’s iPhone was in her purse and officers asked her to use the “Find My iPhone” app and see if it was still on.

The application showed her phone was at the Avalon Apartments in the 3500 block of Andrew Jackson Way in Hermitage.

Officers went to the apartments and reportedly saw a man and a vehicle matching the description of those involved in the robbery.

Three felons were arrested Wednesday after they stole children’s Christmas presents and other valuables from a home in Seminole County, the Sheriff’s Office said Thursday.

A deputy on patrol saw three men loading large bags into a Ford Explorer parked in the driveway of a home on Westchester Drive in the Druid Hills Estates neighborhood near Maitland about 11 a.m., authorities said.

The deputy followed the sport utility vehicle, which refused to pull over and crashed into a brick wall to avoid stop sticks investigators had placed in the road, the Sheriff’s Office said.

The driver, David Smith of Sanford, who turns 25 on Sunday, was trapped in the SUV and treated at Orlando Regional Medical Center before being taken to the Seminole County Jail.

He was released from prison in June 2012 after serving a nearly five-year sentence for an aggravated assault and armed burglary in Orange County. He is on drug-offender probation out of Dixie County.

The other two men, Quinton Chambers, 24, and Shamoule Bridges, 20, ran away but were caught by a sheriff’s dog, investigators said.

Deputies found the Christmas gifts, cash, jewelry, a stolen handgun, burglary tools and drugs in the SUV, they said.

Chambers and Bridges, both of Apopka, were being held on charges of armed burglary, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, possession of burglary tools, grand theft, grand theft of a firearm, possession of cocaine and marijuana with intent to sell and possession of drug equipment.

Bridges also is wanted in Orange County on a charges of improper exhibition of a firearm, Seminole jail records show.

Smith is being held on the same charges, plus fleeing and eluding police and driving without a valid license.

He also was being held on a violation-of-probation charge out of Dixie County, where he was convicted of a currency violation and placed on four years of probation after his prison release.
