San Francisco police are conducting an internal investigation into the conduct of officers who accompanied Apple employees on a hunt for a missing iPhone prototype.a
A police spokesman confirmed the probe to CNET and to SF Weekly, which both have been doing some investigating of their own in the case, which seems to have more twists than a pretzel.a
First, the police department said officers were not involved in searching for the missing phone, giving some the impression that Apple's own investigators were impersonating officers by going into a man's home to search for the phone in July. Then, the police department said it did accompany Apple investigators, but that officers stood by while those investigators conducted the search. No police report was filed by Apple.a
Police Chief Greg Suhr recently told the San Francisco Chronicle that it wasn't uncommon for officers to accompany investigators, and that Apple, as the company that lost the property, had the right to request that a report not be filed.a
A department spokesman, Lt. Troy Dangerfield, had little to say about the internal probe.a
"You read all of the allegations, so it would not be doing due diligence to not investigate," he told SF Weekly.a
