US burglars nabbed after accidentally dialling 911

Washington: Two burglary suspects in US were arrested after one of them accidentally pocket dialled 911 and left the line open as the pair discussed the crime.

Todd J Weiss and Justin G Evans from Minnesota, were arrested on the spot and both face third-degree felony burglary charges.

Police said the 911 dispatcher got a call on April 1, the 'Pioneer Express' reported.

The call stayed open and the dispatcher overheard pieces of a conversation between the two.

It was "pretty clear based on some of that conversation that this was a burglary," police said.

The calls were made using the phone's emergency-call feature and the dispatcher could see their location, police said.

Police rushed to the spot and saw the two men leaving the building, carrying a television and a box.

When officers ordered them to stop, the duo dropped the objects and ran. Police then sent dogs to nab them.
