Listen: McAlester Burglary Suspect Accidentally Calls 911

Wednesday, July 17th, 2013 Property Weird

A cell phone saved the day after a pair of Oklahomans called the cops after a burglary. The twist--they were the thieves, and they had no idea they were dialing 911. Investigators say the thieves were targeting families they thought might gone to a funeral. At least twice, victims in Pittsburg County were burglarized while they were at their loved one’s funeral. But it wasn’t until deputies got the call that they were able to catch the crooks red-handed. "I didn’t even get to go through half the of the house," one suspect said during the phone call. It was a conversation intended to be confidential and criminal in nature, but a pocket dial to the one number no crook would never purposely call changed that.
