Armed police pounce on unsuspecting burglars caught on live web cam

Two burglars seen by a homeowner on a live web cam were caught minutes later by armed police. The video (now on YouTube) shows the thieves casually wandering about the house choosing what to steal and munching on the owners cheese from the fridge.

What they didn't know was that the homeowner Mrs Thomas was watching their every move from her office 25 miles away in Fort Lauderdale. Within minutes police were dispatched to the property and had apprehended the unlucky pair.

As well as the video on YouTube, you can also listen to the audio recording of the owners emotional conversation with the police dispatcher while she gives a running commentary of the burglars movements about the house, and descriptions of the burglars in case they manage to escape the house before the arrival of the police.

Having been burgled only months earlier, this homeowner was relying on a simple web cam and having to watch her home all day on a screen from work. Blitz customers do not need to sit glued to a screen all day. They can be alerted of a break-in by their blitz security system and then securely tap into live CCTV images from the house to see what is going on, knowing that police are already on their way!
