Wales police detained the drug dealer, identifying him from a photograph of a finger in WhatsApp

South Wales police managed to arrest the drug dealer, identifying his identity on the photos sent to the buyer in the WhatsApp photography, in which the criminal's palm was captured. It is reported by BBC .

It is reported that the picture was found when studying the contents of a smartphone of a certain person arrested in the Bridgrand district. On it, the criminal holds a bag of drugs in the palm of his hand. Although, in general, the quality of the photograph in correspondence left much to be desired, and only part of one finger was visible on it, but not his pillow, the experts managed to identify the drug dealer, which was previously delayed by the police. As a result, on the basis of this evidence, 11 convictions were issued.

It is reported that this is the first such case in Wales, and now the police carefully study the contents of the detainees smartphones. If they manage to find similar photos on the devices, they send them to study experts.

Recall that modern technologies are increasingly helping the police in investigations. Thus, fitness braces, home smart boxes or other “smart” devices that fix these or other parameters become silent witnesses of crimes, and data from them are used to accuse the suspects.
