Man Arrested After Ontario Couple Watches Florida Home Burglary Via Web Cam

The Canadian Press, 09 Sep, 2015 01:46 PM
    FORT MYERS, Fla. — A Canadian couple watched via web cam as a man broke into their Florida vacation home on Fort Myers Beach before turning the video over to authorities.
     
    The surveillance tape helped Lee County sheriff's deputies arrest 45-year-old Thomas Hinton on Sunday, the day after the burglary.
     
    He's charged with burglary and grand theft and was jailed on $160,000 bond.
     
    The News-Press of Fort Myers says the couple reported the crime from their home in Ontario on Saturday night after seeing the man on a web cam.
     
    The couple told deputies they watched as the man looked around a bedroom and kitchen area and took their daughter's purse and a $700 television.
     
    Deputies later learned the man might also be connected to other area burglaries.
     
    A deputy spotted the suspect Sunday and arrested him.
     
    A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 5.
     
    It's not clear whether Hinton has a lawyer.
