Burglars spotted on Web cam across globe

MIDWEST CITY, Okla. (UPI) -- An Oklahoma man said his wife, who lives in the Philippines, alerted him to burglars she saw in his apartment on a Web cam.

Air Force Master Sgt. James Chouinard said his wife, Maribel, was awakened in the Philippines by sounds on her computer coming from the Web cam in his Midwest City, Okla., apartment Saturday, The Oklahoman reported.

Chouinard, who said the camera is left on 24 hours a day to allow the couple to keep in constant communication, said his wife gave him a description of the three teenagers she spotted and he passed the information on to police while he headed home from work.

"By the time I got here 10 minutes later, they already had two kids picked up," Chouinard said.

Police Chief Brandon Clabes said all three suspects were arrested shortly after Chouinard contacted police.

The suspects, whose names were not released, were each charged with three counts of second-degree burglary and released into the custody of their guardians.

Chouinard said he married his wife in the Philippines and she is due to join him in the United States within the next couple months.
