Burglars pocket-dial 911 in the act
MINNESOTA, USA (AP) — Authorities in Minnesota say three would-be burglars picked the wrong time to pocket-dial 911.
Blue Earth Sheriff’s Captain Rich Murry says a dispatcher took the call early last Thursday morning and heard two voices on the other end. Murry says what she could hear of the conversation suggested the men were involved in a theft or burglary.
Murry says officers were able to use the 34-minute call to figure out where the men were. They arrested them and a third suspect. He says one of the last things heard on the unintentional 911 call was, “I think I see the police,” followed by sounds of running.
KTOE-AM reports Murry says officers found that a Mankato supply business had been ransacked, with cash and other items taken.
