The police arrested this teen within an hour of the last attack because of police work and technology.  They had a lead about one of the attackers having been in the juvenile system and they tracked him down using the GPS on the ankle monitor he was wearing.  He could be placed at the exact location of the attack at the exact time because of the GPS and then they located and arrest him.
