YouTube posting helps nab video store robber
Jonathan Woodward, Vancouver Sun
Published: Wednesday, July 04, 2007

NEW WESTMINSTER - A 28-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a video store break-in two months ago after the store owner posted the security camera footage of the incident on YouTube.

The four-minute video, posted shortly after the April break-in, shows two people staring into the window of Game Deals Video Games on Columbia Street in New Westminster before one returns, smashes the glass door, and ransacks the store. The video shows the person fleeing with a computer and two duffel bags full of video games, New Westminster police said.

Game Deals owner Brian Hughes made the video by editing it and adding a soundtrack from one of his games, he said.

He played it in his office, and then posted it on the Internet. More than 20,000 people saw the video and one of them sent a tip to the police.

Robert Paul Paracholski has been charged with one count of break and enter and will appear in court today.

UPDATE: There was a tiny blurb in the Vancouver Province as well.
