Dutch police have arrested two brothers on suspicion of robbery after their alleged victim spotted a picture of them following him on Google’s Street View.
The boy, 14, was mugged last September after two men dragged him of his bike in Groningen, 110 miles north-east of Amsterdam.
His attackers got away with around £140 and his mobile phone. Police were at first unable to track down the suspects.
But the victim contacted them in March after seeing what he believed to be an image of himself and the two men on Street View.
Officers got in touch with Google for the original picture because the people’s faces were blurred.
This blonde guy is just another victim of the non-white mass immigration into Europe. Are you from Netherlands and still think that Geert Wilders is crazy when he talks against Muslims? Here’s just another proof to support him.
The company complied, and a robbery squad detective immediately recognised one of the brothers.
Prosecutors will now decide whether to charge the suspects, whose identities were not released.
Paul Eidanus, a police spokesman in the town of Groningen, said he believed the case was the first time Street View images had been used in a Dutch criminal investigation.
‘For us, it is unique,’ he said. ‘This photo could provide an important contribution to solving a crime.’
Since it was launched in 2007, Street View has expanded to more than 100 cities worldwide.
But it has drawn complaints from individuals and institutions that have been photographed, including the Pentagon, which barred Google from photographing U.S. military bases for the application.
