Charges Filed After Cell Phones, Rental Car Reported Stolen in Dormont

A Pittsburgh man was charged after allegedly stealing cell phones and a rental car from a Dormont resident.

Gregory Nutall, 25, of the Chartiers section of Pittsburgh, was charged with theft and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle after a Dormont resident reported that Nutall had stolen the items on July 23 and refused to return them, according to the police report.

Police said tracking devices on the cell phones, as well as identification from the victim, led them to Nutall.
