Matthew Street, LiverpoolI love to hear stories of technology saving the day!!


A Dallas, Texas resident was checking out a Webcam online that looks over Matthew Street in Liverpool—home of the Beatles and the Cavern Club—when he noticed intruders breaking into a sports store.


Immediately, he called the police, and officers were sent to the scene, arresting three suspects involved in the robbery. Yay!!

Shown here is a screenshot of one of the three Webcams that overlook Matthew St. Webcam images refresh every 2 minutes.

I guess that puts a dent in the "security cameras have never stopped or prevented a crime" argument, eh? I'm not trying to start a discussion on that, seriously, I just thought it was amusing!
