Blog #15, New Zealand police use Facebook to stop crime

In New Zealand yesterday, police arrested a burglar via facebook, after they posted pictures of him they got from and security camera inside. The man broke into a pub through the roof and was trying to work his way into the cash machine but couldn't seem to get it open. Just as he was about to leave, he looked around to make sure he had all of his stuff, and looked directly into a security camera. It is the first facebook arrest the Queenstown police have had. The police created a facebook account 2 months ago so that they could post any important news that they needed to get out since it is the number 1 used site. The robber is not faced with 2 burglary.
