911 Pocket Dial Leads to Arrest of 2 on Burglary Charges (ABC News)

Two people were arrested in Roswell, New Mexico, after they unintentionally dialed police immediately after burglarizing a home and discussed details of the alleged crime during their getaway while the call was being recorded by authorities, Roswell police said.

Aaron Burrell, 37, was arrested earlier this month after he unwittingly made a 911 call to police while driving away after he and Yvonne Thyberg, 35, allegedly stole a television from a house in Roswell in late September, police said.

“We basically robbed them, dude,” one of the two suspects could be heard saying on audio of the accidental 911 call released by police.
