Jail - thats where we'd like to put quite a lot of Myspace users come to think of it...

The Sheriff's Department in Kentucky has been keeping a close eye on sites like Myspace and Youtube in order to help catch young offenders it seems.

Fox News has reported recently that a series of arrests were made in Kentucky after videos of crimes appeared on Myspace. Apparently a group of four teenagers broke into a home and stole various items, only to be arrested after police found a video of the crime had been uploaded to one of the internet's most popular websites.

It appears that this wasn't just a one-off incident either, as detectives recently arrested another youth in the area who had videos of himself causing damage to a church, which had been uploaded to Youtube.

It does make one stop and wonder just which is worse though - the stupidity of the criminals or the fact that the police may have wasted hours examining the Myspace pages of their suspects.

If you have any crimes you want to confess to, or videos you wish to share, then feel free to pop down to the forums and let us know!

Myspace leads to capture of teenage thieves

Police in Kentucky use sites like Myspace and Youtube to catch crooks at work. Is this the 21st century version of that annoying Police, Camera, Action show?
