Philadelphia police arrested a man they say stalked and stole a cell phone from a teenage girl.
Javon Cooper, 20, was arrested Monday and is facing robbery and related offenses.
About 7 p.m. on July 21, the suspect was captured on surveillance cameras wandering around in the area of 16th and Ritner Streets in South Philadelphia for approximately an hour.
Around 8 p.m., the suspect began following a 14-year-old girl to the 2400 block of S. 16th Street.
As the girl began to walk up steps to enter a home, the suspect grabbed her phone and ran away.
The victim was not injured.
Investigators say a Philadelphia police officer viewed the surveillance footage and recognized Cooper from prior contact.
