A Vancouver bank robber will probably have plenty of time to regret his decision to leave the scene of the crime in a taxi equipped with satellite tracking technology. A 26-year-old man held up the VanCity Credit Union on the city's east side on Jan. 11 and, after grabbing the money, he fled the building and jumped into a waiting taxi, Vancouver police told Reuters on Jan. 12. Police called the taxi company, which tracked the vehicle via a global positioning system (GPS) to an intersection several blocks from the bank. The man was quickly arrested in what police believe was their first use of a satellite to find a bank robber.
