Caught red-handed? Burglary suspect captured on BBC wildlife presenter Simon King’s ‘fox family’ camera
You just never know who might be watching you! Perhaps more wildlife surveillance in rural habitats could similarly help with rural crime clear up rates!! This article tells us:
Police were said to be “delighted” after footage of a burglary suspect was captured by a TV wildlife presenter’s webcam.
Images taken from Simon King’s live-streaming project showed a man climbing over a fence and making off across a back garden in south London that is better known as being home to a group of foxes.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan police confirmed that they wanted to speak to the man captured in the footage, which coincided with a burglary at a neighbouring house in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Officers said the clip was filmed at 3.46am in Herne Hill, south London using “a ‘Fox Family’ camera installed by television presenter Simon King”, and appealed to the public for help identifying the man “in connection with a burglary investigation”.
