Police nab thief after computer camera catches him in the act.
“London: A burglar has been jailed after being filmed by the computer he was stealing.
Benjamin Park, 19, broke into the home of Duncan Grisby, a software developer who had installed a motion-activated security camera in his computer.
Park smashed a ground-floor window of Mr Grisby’s house in Cambridge and stole the computer and other equipment worth £3719 ($8935).
The hidden webcam caught him in the act and a back-up system transferred the images to Mr Grisby’s private website.
Detective Sergeant Al Page, who leads the Cambridge burglary squad, said: “It made our job really easy and it was a pleasure to see the expression on Park’s face when we showed him the pictures as we interviewed him.””
See, it IS worth setting up your webcam as a security camera…
