   A soldier in Iraq saw a burglary going down at his home in   
   Illinois and called police, who arrested two suspects.   
      
   It happened overnight Friday in the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge.   
      
   The soldier Richard Wharton saw what was happening with a   
   doorbell camera app on his smartphone, according to reports.   
      
   “It was 2:30 in the morning back here and he just happened to   
   have the alert and watched them and connected great with us,”   
   Park Ridge Deputy Police Chief Tom Gadomski told WGN-TV.   
      
   “We had officers right in the area and were able to find the   
   offenders and take them into custody,” he said.   
      
   The thieves were accused of entering Wharton’s garage and   
   stealing power tools, the station reported.   
      
   Police identified the two suspects as Andres Gutierrez, 23, and   
   Brandon Shaw, 24..   
      
   They were charged with three counts of burglary, the station   
   reported.   
      
   “We just can’t say thank you enough to him both for serving his   
   country and serving his local community and helping us out,”   
   Gadomski told the station, referring to Wharton.
