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.
