SUFFOLK, Va. — Suffolk police say they now have a suspect to go with an image of a person who snapped a photo of himself with a cell phone belonging to the owner of the home he burglarized.
Police say a 17-year-old Suffolk resident faces charges of burglary and larceny. They're not identifying him because he's underage.
The burglary happened in early June. Detectives think the person unsuccessfully tried to make a phone call using the phone, then used the camera function to photograph himself. People who saw the photo in news stories helped detectives identify the suspect.

SUFFOLK — Police investigators are seeking the public's help in identifying a suspect in an early June home burglary after getting a little help from the suspect himself.
In the first week of June, police were called to the burglary of a house in the 200 block of Holbrook Arch in Suffolk. During the burglary, the suspect tried to use the homeowner's cell phone but was unable to make a call, city spokeswoman Debbie George said in a statement Sunday evening.
What the suspect was able to do was snap a genial-looking photo of himself with the phone's built-in camera while committing the crime. He then left the phone and ran off, George said.
