PHILADELPHIA -
It may seem surprising, but Twitter and Facebook are turning into useful tools for Philadelphia police.
In searching for the cousins who are suspected of beating and robbing a cab driver in Southwest Philly, police took to social media prior to the arrests to let them know they were on their way.
Detective Joe Murray posted on Twitter: "Congrats cabbie carjackers. You've got our attention. Now enjoy your last few days as free men."
