One criminal in Pennsylvania was caught “web-handed” when he actually logged on to his Facebook account during a robbery.
And police arrested one of Los Angeles’ most prolific graffiti artists after he posted video of his handiwork on YouTube.
“People put a lot of things on their Facebook and their my space and other things that they normally wouldn’t tell you,” said officer Sandra Boonenberg.
Federal authorities in Washington tracked down fugitive Maxi Sopo after he posted an update on his social networking page saying he was “living in paradise” in Cancun. He’s now in jail.
In Illinois, convicted burglar Joseph Luebke posted “i’m on da run” shortly after he broke out of a half way house. He’s behind bars now too.
