POLICE were led to a thieves’ den after the owner of a stolen iPad activated a “Find My iPad” app.

Raiders took it from a house in Eisenhower Road, Laindon, as part of a £2,000 haul, which also included a Playstation 3 games console.

Police arrived about an hour later and a tracking app led them to a house in Beeston Court, Basildon, where they arrested five people.
