Serbian police catch two bad guys on Google Street View
Two suspects preparing a heist on a jewelry store last year got caught by the police in Novi Sad, Serbia. One of the suspects managed to escape from the apartment and run away for a few blocks until police arrested him too.
And Google luckily caught all the action for you to see in Street View images included below.
