Modern Crimes: Florida homeowner watches her home being burglarized via the Web; perps arrested
Apr 10, 2009 3:32 PM


Imagine sitting at your office and watching your home get burglarized. That's what happened on Wednesday to a woman in Boynton Beach, Florida, who had set up a live video stream after her home was broken into last fall, reports The Smoking Gun.

Seeing the intrusion, the homeowner called 911 to report the incident. The police got to the house in time to arrest two men, who allegedly entered the residence through a dog door. The thieves were caught with a 37-inch TV, a safe, and a video-game console, according to the Sun-Sentinel. The police later arrested another pair of perps and charged them with helping to plan the break-in.
