The Power Of The Internet: Texas Beatles fan foils burglary on the other side of Atlantic by webcam
A Texas man was browsing Liverpool webcam sites, looking at locations associated with the Beatles, when he noticed 3 men scaling a ladder. He called the Liverpol police, who swooped and arrsted the burglars on the spot.
The man from Dallas, Texas was using a live camera link to look at Mathew Street, an area of Liverpool synonymous with the Beatles as it is home to the famous Cavern Club where the band regularly played.
He saw intruders apparently breaking into a sports store and alerted local police.
We did get a call from someone in Dallas who was watching on a webcam that looks into the tourist areas, of which Mathew Street is one because of all the Beatles stuff,” a Merseyside Police spokeswoman told Reuters.
“He called directly through to police here.”
Officers were sent to the scene and three suspects were arrested.
