A thief who stole an iPod music system from a passenger at Luton station was nicked - thanks to a railway operator's new CCTV control centre.
A spokesman for First Capital Connect said: 'At 2am on Tuesday a passenger had their ipod stolen leaving the train at Luton. We were alerted to the crime by a member of staff who was working at the station at the time.'
A description of the suspect was provided and the CCTV control centre team studied footage before linking up with British Transport Police and station staff.
The number of the train was noted and CCTV was scanned at every station the train passed through as it headed to London.
The suspect alighted at West Hampstead and was arrested within minutes. Charges are being processed.
