A video is worth a thousand words


(NECN/ABC) - Local businesses are often the victims of crime and one Web site just arrived on scene, aiming to help stores find the criminals.

PostACrime.com hopes to use security camera images to help fight crime. The site has posted over 100,000 crimes nationwide and it is only six months old.

David Stone created the site.

Anyone can sign up for the free service. Members of the site also get e-mails notifying them when crimes occur. Anyone can post or review a crime, and that, has police worried.

Police say posting potential criminal images online too early could harm their investigation. But, Stone says the site's administrators can remove any information police want so they can do their job.

KESQ Reporter Rodney Wardle has more from Palm Springs, California.
