Mugging solved thanks to StreetView
Streetview cams captured two muggers and the victim in Groningen, Holland. The two thiefs stole a mobile phone and 165 euros in cash. The 14 year old victim later found the StreetView image and reported it to the police. Google had blurred the faces as they do with all images. Luckily they also keep a copy of the original images and released the image to the police. One officer recognized the muggers. Two brothers aged 24 was arrested. This according to local news sources in Holland.
This is the image:

StreetView now available in Sweden
You can now view images from several cities in Sweden in a new similar service to Googles StreetView. Lokaldelen has created 360 degrees panorama images of a couple of cities. They have named this service Streetview. I’m not sure what Google will think of this…
Unfortunately only the main shopping streets are covered so far. I haven’t found a way to link directly to an image. This is the old town (Gamla Stan) in the capital Stockholm. Images are also available from the center of some other swedish cities like Halmstad, Helsingborg, Kalmar, Karlskrona, Lund, Malmö and Växjö.
