Oops! Crook Accidentally Butt-Dials Police

Two suspected store thieves are under arrest in Houston after one of the alleged burglars butt-dialed 9-1-1.

Houston Police responded to an alarm at a Best Buy early Saturday after three suspects hit the store and got away with laptops and other electronics.

At that moment, a 9-1-1 dispatcher fielded a call with only noise in the background, which later turned out to be from a cellphone in the back pocket of one of the suspects. The call helped officers to find the vehicle and arrest two of the suspects.
