As it would turn out, Snapchat can be used for more than just sending dirty pics fun pics and videos to your friends.
Police in Northern California have arrested a man for armed robbery and their big lead was his Snapchat account. NBC News with the details of the weird story that took place in Pacific Grove, California:
It occurred at Lovers Point Park, according to the Pacific Grove Police Department. Victor Almanza-Martinez, 18, of Castroville, and two other men allegedly approached four victims and robbed them of their belongings, including keys to a 2013 black Chrysler 200.
The suspects fled in the Chrysler, which is still missing, but not before Almanza-Martinez and one of the female victims exchanged Snapchat information and posed for a selfie together, police said.
The selfie was apparently a break in the case, police said, adding that it helped them track down Almanza-Martinez.
The suspect was subsequently arrested and charged with armed robbery, kidnapping, possession of stolen property, conspiracy, violation of probation and gang enhancements. Almanza-Martinez is being held at the Monterey County Jail with bail set at $170,000.
Police are still looking for the other two men who apparently did not take selfies with the victims.
