TERRELL, N.C. (AP) -- Some North Carolina deputies know how to "finger" a suspect.
They were chasing two teens wanted in a series of break-ins and captured a 16-year-old. Deputies confiscated the suspect's cell phone. Catawba County sheriff's Major Coy Reid says soon after, a text message appeared on the mobile phone asking if the kid had been caught by the cops.
Of course, the answer was yes, but deputies typed "no." After a few more text messages, the "friends" decided to meet-up. Deputies were waiting and busted the 17-year-old texter. Authorities say both teens now face several charges, including larceny and breaking and entering.
