I can’t be certain, but it sounds like they took a cellphone from the victim and the victim was able to give info from that to the cops who tracked them down. Maybe something with an air tag or similar.
Don’t need an air tag with any mobile phone, but modern iPhones and Androids have “Find My Phone” features where you can log in and see the GPS location of your phone from any web browser. For phones without GPS, carriers can triangulate an approximate location based on what cell towers the phone’s signal is hitting.
