A robbery arrest was made after the victim got a new phone and then had pictures from her stolen phone uploaded to the new phone to her Cloud account.

Among the pictures uploaded were photos of the robbers.

The female victim identified Seth Benjamin Hardnett, 18, of 1703 E. 14th St., as one of the robbers from the incident on April 12.

Hardnett was charged with aggravated robbery.

The incident happened on E. 16th Street when an Hispanic woman pulled up to a friend's house. She had just gotten out of her vehicle when she was approached by two black males. They ran up to her and tried to take her purse.

When she would not let go, one of them struck her in the head with the butt of a small gray pistol.

They then took the purse that contained $2,000, various cards and a Boost Mobile cell phone.

They fled in a gray, four-door vehicle.

It was April 26 when the victim replaced her phone and made the discovery of the new photos in her Cloud account.
