WUSA was doing a story about an app that alerts people to sketchy neighborhoods.
Reporter Mola Lenghi, photographer James Hash and an intern were talking to residents of a northwest DC neighborhood when thieves broke into their vehicle and stole some gear.
Among the many stolen articles was the gear of photojournalist James Hash, the backpack of reporter Mola Lenghi, and the purse of intern Taylor Bisciotti.
AdvertisementBisciotti’s cell phone was in her purse, and that ended up being a lucky break for the crew. Using the “Find my iPhone’ application the crew was able to track the phone. After filing a police report the crew tracked the phone to dumpsters in another D.C. neighborhood.
The crew was able to recover some of the stolen items from the dumpsters. The entire crew returned to WUSA9’s broadcast house unharmed.
