Webcam Doubles as Security Camera

Two Florida teenagers were stifled in their attempt to burglarize a home when the homeowner's friend saw them on the home's webcam.

Investigators said a friend of Leonard Meeks' was looking at his Deltona home's Web cams over the Internet at about 2 p.m. and noticed two teens breaking into the house with a knife.

When the Louisville, Ky., woman witnessed the pair removing electronic equipment, she called the Volusia County Sheriff's Office and described the break-in in detail as she watched it unfold live on her computer, according to investigators.

A short time later, deputies took the first suspect, Joshuel Fernandez, 13, into custody. A K-9 unit tracked and then caught the second suspect, Jonathan Sanabria, 17, in some nearby woods. Sanabria was taken to Florida Hospital-Fish Memorial in Orange City for treatment of a dog bite to the shoulder.
