Colorado Police Turn to YouTube to Catch Criminals

by Terrence O'Brien on April 17, 2008 at 04:12 PM


Investigators in Weld County, Colorado are turning to YouTube in their latest effort to catch criminals. The sheriff's department is posting video, like the one above of a burglary, for citizens to view in hopes that someone will be able to identify the suspects and help track them down.

The particular pair of criminals in this video were caught by a home surveillance system and are suspected of burglarizing at least three other homes in the area. It's nice to see 'America's Most Wanted' updated for the MySpace generation.

Of course, this is hardly the first time we've seen illegal activity make its way on to YouTube. [Source: Boing Boing]
