A Philadelphia teenager who authorities say used a stolen mobile phone to snap a photo of himself that automatically got sent to the victim has turned himself in.

Eighteen-year-old Kadeem Cook turned himself in around 11:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Cook is the main suspect in an armed robbery on October 7.

The victim's cell phone was taken during the robbery. The 20-year-old woman had programmed her phone so that it would automatically send photos to her home computer.

Some time after the robbery, she received a photo of a young man holding a large handgun to his head.

After the photo was released, the gunman was identified as Cook and an arrest warrant was issued.

If someone steals my phone, I'm just going to send it a text saying "Ha! Sucker. I think I paid $10 two years ago for that POS. Enjoy!"
