Two Minnesota burglary suspects were arrested after police said one of them accidentally called 911 and left the line open as the pair discussed the crime.
Maplewood Police Chief Paul Schnell said the dispatcher got a call and hang-up, then another call that stayed open.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported the dispatcher overheard a conversation about where police were. Schnell said the calls were made on April 1 using the phone’s emergency-call feature. The dispatcher saw the location was a car-repair shop.
Officers arrived to see two men leaving. One carried a television, the other a box.
Todd Weiss, 32, of Minnetonka, and Justin Evans, 38, are charged with third-degree burglary.
