LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police say the GPS on an iPhone led them to a stash of stolen goods!

Carl Rutter and Paula Allen pleaded not guilty to charges of receipt of stolen property.

Police say a burglary victim contacted them to say their iPhone, iPod and laptop computer had been stolen from a home near the Graymoor / Devondale neighborhood.

It was the GPS on the phone that led officers to the Bluegrass Mobile Home Park near Newburg Road and Hikes Lane.

That's where police say they found Rutter and Allen along with the stolen electronics and thousands of dollars of stolen jewelry -- and hundreds of prescription pills!
