US webcam watcher foils burglary
A man viewing a webcam in Liverpool from his home in Texas foiled a burglary after spotting thieves trying to break into a shop.
The man went online in Dallas in the United States, to view images of the city's famous Beatles quarter.
But he saw a group of men scaling a ladder on Mathew Street - home to the Cavern Club.
He telephoned Merseyside Police and officers rushed to the scene and arrested three men.
The break-in took place at Blacks outdoor activity shop on Tuesday.
Window broken
Three men, all aged in their mid-30s, were arrested on suspicion of burglary and bailed pending further inquiries.
A spokesman for Merseyside Police said: "We received a call from a man in Dallas, Texas, who was watching a webcam and said he could see men removing property from a store.
"There was a ladder against a wall and a first-floor window had been broken, and the men were taking property out.
"Three men were arrested on suspicion of burglary and bailed.
"The investigation is ongoing."
