Beatles webcam helps foil burglary

         An American helped foil a burglary in northern England whilst watching a Beatles-related webcam over the Internet, police said Friday.  The man from Dallas was using a live camera link to look at Mathew Street, an area of Liverpool synonymous with the Beatles and home to the Cavern Club where the band regularly played.  He saw intruders apparently breaking into a sports store and alerted local police.  "We did get a call from someone in Dallas who was watching on a webcam that looks into the tourist areas, of which Mathew Street is one because of all the Beatles stuff," a Merseyside Police spokeswoman said.  Officers were sent to the scene and three suspects were arrested.

披头士家乡联网摄像帮助挫败入室盗窃案

        警方上周五称，一名美国人在通过互联网观看关于披头士乐队的在线摄像时帮助警方挫败了英格兰北部的一起入室盗窃案。这名达拉斯男子当时正在利用实时摄像线路查看Mathew街。利物浦的这一地区几乎就是披头士乐队的代名词，他们当年经常去上台表演的“洞窟夜总会”就在那里。这名男子看见闯入者显然是在强行进入一家体育用品商店，于是就通知了当地警方。Merseyside的警方发言人证实说：“我们的确收到来自达拉斯的电话，此人当时正观看一部镜头对准观光区的在线摄像机，其中就包括因为满是披头士乐队的典故而出名的Mathew街。”警察被派往案发现场，逮捕了三名嫌疑犯。
