Man learns casino losses not deductible
BOYNTON BEACH, Fla., April 11 (UPI) -- A Florida woman says she used a Web cam to catch two men in the act of robbing her home.
Jeanne Thomas said she alerted police to two men robbing her Boynton Beach house after accessing her Web cam from her Keiser University office and seeing the criminals making themselves at home, The Palm Beach (Fla.) Post reported Saturday.
''It was the strangest feeling,'' Thomas, 53, said of Wednesday's incident. "I had a feeling something wasn't right. When I went on, I saw a person standing in my house.''
While watching the men gather up her family's belongings, Thomas contacted police and within minutes, 18 officers had surrounded her home and the robbers inside.
''You could see them on the video freaking out,'' said Thomas, who installed the Web cam after enduring past robberies.
"They darted around the house trying to figure out how to get out.''
Boynton Beach Police told the Post they arrested Curtis Williams and Steven Morales as the men allegedly left Thomas' home and arrested two other suspects in relation to the crime.
