Surveillance cameras catch thieves stealing surveillance cameras

PRINCE GEORGE, Canada - It didn't take authorities long to find two
suspects who stole the outdoor surveillance cameras at a museum. They
had crystal clear pictures from the cameras' tapes.
"It was the ultimate of ironies," said Exploration Place executive
director Tracy Calogheros. "I'm not sure what they thought the
cameras were doing up there, but they looked up at them so we could
get a really good look at their faces.
"They are very clear, good-quality pictures. You can see the detail
of their faces, the logos on their clothing, their dog was even in
the video," Calogheros said. advertisement
The tape shows a male suspect hitting three of the museum's four
video cameras Monday with a large board until they are dislodged.
The museum installed the surveillance cameras last month to deal with
vandalism.
"People just decided we were an easy mark. Now we are not. Now we
have cameras," Calogheros said last month when the museum got the cameras.
A museum staff member who was driving downtown spotted the suspects
and their dog about six hours after the incident and called police.
"If it wasn't for the fact it is going to cost me a couple thousand
dollars, it would be really funny," Calogheros said.
One man is now in custody, but the three missing cameras have not
been recovered.
The incident took place at about 1 a.m. Monday, with one of the
thieves returning at about 6 a.m. to go after a fourth camera before
being scared off by a staff member.
