FORT MYERS, Fla. — A Canadian couple watched via webcam as a man broke into their Florida vacation home on Fort Myers Beach before turning the video over to authorities.
The surveillance tape helped Lee County sheriff’s deputies arrest 45-year-old Thomas Hinton on Sunday, the day after the burglary. He’s charged with burglary and grand theft and was jailed on $160,000 bond.
The News-Press of Fort Myers reports the couple reported the crime from their home in Ontario, Canada, on Saturday night after seeing the man on a webcam. Deputies later learned the man might also be connected to other area burglaries.
A deputy spotted the suspect Sunday and arrested him.
A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 5.
