Idk why I thought this was something to do with FaceID. They just used the dudes picture from his Lock Screen to identify him. Pretty dumb to bring your cell phone when committing such a crime, not to mention leaving your face on it and leaving it at the scene!! This reminds me of a story I read about a guy that got caught robbing a house because he logged into Facebook on the family computer and did not take it or log out.
