I have a bet with my Dad – can police or other agencies use cell phone companies records to solve a crime. for example, can they pinpoint what cell phone was in a particular location at a specific time?

Thank You! But they would have to know which cell phone they’re looking for right? Say a theft took place at 123 main st on feb 12 at 1:00 am — can law enforcement get a record of all cell phones who were in that area at that time and then use those people as suspects?
