Man in Plane sees his house being burgled
August 31st, 2011 - 11:16 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattBay, Ark., Aug 31 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A Bay man had his curiosity to thank during his first plane flight. To ensure that he gets the best out of his experience, the man asked the pilot to fly the plane over his home so that he will take some shots. When the plane got to the house, he watched in amazement as two men burgled his home.
He recovered from his shock to call his neighboring uncle and 911. The suspected burglars however escaped from the house but they were later arrested by a trooper as they tried to flee.
Steven Lynn informed newsmen that as the plane flew over his neighborhood, he saw the two men unload things from his home into a trailer which was attached to a truck. As the uncle came to the house, the two men abandoned the trailer and tried to escape with the truck.
The pilot chased the car with the plane and an Arkansas State trooper later arrested the two men who have been identified as Joseph Peel and Roosevelt Smith III. They have been taken to custody and they are expected to be charged with burglary and stealing charges when they are arraigned before court.
