The robber was caught with the help of Google Street View!

The Dhaka Times Desk After seeing the photos on Google Street View, a teenager identified the two men as robbers and informed the police, who immediately arrested the two men. A similar incident happened in the Netherlands.

A 14-year-old boy went to the police and reported that he had been robbed on the street. Two men took a bicycle, some money and mobile phone from him. But the boy did not have any proof that the police would find the robbers based on his information. However, the police searched for some time.

Six months after the incident, the boy was browsing Google Street View and suddenly noticed a picture of him riding his bicycle just before the robbery and the two robbers walking past him. However, the faces were blurred in the picture. The boy confidently informed the police again about the incident.

ডাচ পুলিশ উদ্যোগী হয়ে গুগল কতৃপক্ষকে আসল ছবিটি দেয়ার জন্য অনুরোধ করে এবং গুগল তাতে সাড়া দেয়। ফলস্বরুপ সেই ডাকাতদ্বয় ধরা পড়ে। ডাচ পুলিশ Paul Heidanus বলেন, “স্ট্রিট ভিউতে তোলা এই সামান্য ছবিটিই এই কেসটি সমাধান করে দিয়েছে, দারূণ একটি ঘটনা!”
