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."

You'd have to be at least as far away as Texas to find THAT surprising...

Not in the Republic of Liverpool we're not ~;)

Just spent much of three days at the Mathew St. Festival (that shop is at one end of the street) watching groups from all over the world playing mainly '60s British music. Best bands seen were an awesome Swedish Rolling Stones tribute group and a Russian ensemble with a stunning little blonde lead-singer, sort of like Christina Aguilera but better looking and the most amazing voice. It's a really cool experience to go to somewhere like the Cavern and talk to people from Germany, France, Brazil, Argentina, US, Canada, Russia, Spain, Italy, Japan, Norway, etc, etc, etc, all in the space of about three hours before moving on to the next venue. :2thumbsup:
