Cellphone repair tech Harmeet Singh arrested after sending woman's pictures to himself

NORTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - Milton police arrested a cellphone repair technician accused of hacking a customer’s phone to send himself very personal pictures of the victim.

Investigators say a customer brought her broken phone to a store on Windward Parkway in June, and when she got it back, she noticed something wasn’t right.

”She noticed some text messaging on there that she did not recognize, said Lt. Charles Barstow. ”Pictures from her phone had been texted to a number she was not familiar with.  Those pictures were personal pictures.

Barstow said the victim questioned the technician identified as Harmeet Singh about the number.

”She went down and confronted the person involved and asked him is this your number, he stated it was, and from there she filed a police report.

Singh was arrested last weel and charged with felony computer invasion of privacy.

”Even though he had the PIN code, there were only certain things he was allowed to do and he broadened that out, said Barstow.

Barstow said detectives want to know if Singh hacked any other customers’ phones. 

”We urge people who might have had their phone repaired to take a look at it and if there’s anything funny with it…please contact us, he said.

Singh has bonded out of the Fulton County jail.
