Facebook lands him in ‘custody’

Issue No. 4 | February 16-29, 2012

The New Zealand police made their first Facebook arrest recently when they rounded up 21-year-old Michael James Ede. The Queenstown police tracked down Michael who had allegedly tried to burgle a local pub by posting security-camera shots of himself on Facebook.

According to reports, he was opening the safe for nearly an hour and when his mask got overheated, he removed it. He stole a glance at the camera and investigators put the image on the department’s Facebook profile. Some web users recognised Michael and lo he ended up in custody. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 300 hours of community service besides a fine of $125.
