Graphed Robbery

Jack sped away from the crime scene before anyone could see him at approximately 11 PM at night - he successfully stole his neighbor's stash of antique gold coins valued at around $80,000 dollars. "Phew!", he breathed. Jack was careful to cover up his tracks before he left: he destroyed all cameras and disabled his neighbor's security system as well. However, he mistakenly left his iPhone's GPS tracking feature on while he ran at a constant pace away from the crime scene and did not disable it. An eyewitness saw Jack approximately 10 miles away from the crime scene at 4 AM. Can the police catch Jack and save the neighbor's fortune? Remember, Jack is always moving at a constant pace.
