The streets of Tulsa witnessed a modern-day tale of crime and technology when a stolen moped led to an aerial police chase and an arrest over the weekend. According to a Facebook post by the Tulsa Police Department, the drama unfolded after the victim's grey 2016 Genuine Buddy 50 Moped was reported stolen from his apartment complex overnight on Saturday.
The victim, using an AirTag nestled into the fabric of his two-wheeler, tracked the moped's trek to diverse locales weaving a path from near 51st and Memorial to the Walmart at 6625 S Memorial Dr, the electronic breadcrumb trail finally leading to a Best Buy at 10303 E 71st St. Under the hawkish gaze of the police helicopter, officers zeroed in on Derrius Luna as he endeavored to make his getaway aboard the ill-gotten scooter, as reported by the Tulsa Police Department.
Luna was halted by officers and taken into custody. "He was booked into Tulsa County for Possession of a Stolen vehicle and for the warrant," detailed the aforementioned Tulsa Police Department's post. During the process, Luna claimed innocence, stating he had borrowed the moped from a friend, reportedly unaware of its stolen status. Unfortunately for Luna, a records check brought to light an active warrant for Felony Larceny from the Wagoner County Sheriff's Office, complicating his predicament.
