FRAMINGHAM -
A truck driver made the right call after discovering his phone had been stolen Thursday morning. He quickly used another phone to dial his own number, which led him to the suspected thief just a few feet away.
Police said they arrested Ronald B. Horne, 26, of 17B Thompson St., after he broke into a truck parked outside Dunkin' Donuts on Concord Street at 11:50 a.m. and took a cellphone, GPS unit, cigarettes and about $450 in cash.
After taking the items, police said, Horne went inside the shop, where the truck's driver was getting his order.
When the driver went back to his company truck, he noticed that his iPhone and GPS were gone. He went back into Dunkin' Donuts and asked to use the phone, which he used to call his iPhone, Lt. Victor Pereira said.
"When he did this, he heard his ring tone coming from Mr. Horne's pocket," Pereira said.
Horne admitted he took the phone and GPS, police said.
