Myspace leads to capture of teenage thieves

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.
