MIDWEST CITY, Okla. — An Air Force wife helped police catch three burglary suspects when she spotted them on the Webcam the couple uses to communicate while they’re apart.
Police say three people who tried to rob Master Sgt. Jim Chouinard’s suburban Oklahoma City apartment were seen by his wife in the Philippines via a Webcam.
Officers nabbed the three burglary suspects over the weekend after Maribel Chouinard spotted them and called her husband, who is stationed at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, Midwest City police Chief Brandon Clabes said.
The husband called police, who found two teens near the apartment and later found the third suspect.
Clabes says all three were identified from a photo lineup e-mailed to Chouinard in the Philippines.
Master Sgt. Chouinard says the couple met overseas and she’s waiting for her visa to be processed.
