According to a news report on INN, the police caught somebody smuggling expensive watches into the country to sell... all because he posted a picture on Instagram!

During Pesach, this fellow stayed in a hotel in Eilat. Police raided the hotel looking for him for tax evasion.


The main source of information that led police to him was the above  picture he had posted on Instagram of himself holding the watches by the hotel in Eilat.

I am impressed that the police are using social media to aid them in their work - not  just in disseminating information, but also in catching criminals. Be careful what you post online - especially if it is about illegal activities you are involved in...
