Smart technology is proving to be a useful crime-fighting tool, after a stolen iPad helped nab its thief.

When two men discovered an iPad had been taken from their car in Brunswick, in Melbourne's north, on Friday, they used an application to track the device to nearby Reservoir.

They confronted a 30-year-old man in a park and detained him until police arrived.

The man was charged with several offences, including theft and handling stolen goods and will appear at the Heidelberg Magistrates Court on Monday.
