Texas Beatle Fan Foils Liverpool Robbery Over The Web

Reuter’s UK is reporting that an American fan helped foil a burglary in northern England whilst watching a Beatles-related webcam over the Internet, police said.

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 “He called directly through to police here.” Officers were sent to the scene and three suspects were arrested.

Hi Alan

I noticed that story today & the headline jumped out at me as it described the man as being from Texas lol

Thanks for the book by the way - it arrived today, and I’m already up to John meeting Paul!
