Man Convicted of Using Tracking Device to Rob Gambler

A man has been convicted of multiple felonies after authorities said he used a tracking device to monitor a casino patron in order to rob him.

The Washington Post reported jurors have found Kevin Carroll guilty on armed robbery, assault and other charges following a trial.

Prosecutors said Carroll stuck a GPS tracking device on a fellow casino gambler's car. He and an accomplice later conducted an armed home invasion at the man's home in Montgomery County.

The newspaper said the victim's teenage daughter testified that the intruders marched her 21-year-old brother through the house looking for money. Her mouth was covered by tape.

Prosecutors said investigators found duct tape with Carroll's DNA. The intruders took $6,000 in cash.

Defense attorney Andrew Jezic said Carroll will appeal.
