SUPERIOR, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin police say two home burglary suspects are in custody after they “liked” a photo of an accomplice on Facebook.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office tells WDIO-TV it posted a surveillance photo of a man who used credit cards stolen from a town of Lakeside residence.

An investigation led to the arrest of a 32-year-old woman and her 26-year-old boyfriend. The couple is scheduled to make preliminary court appearances next week.

Authorities say they believe the man in the surveillance photo fled the area. According to the sheriff’s office, he is not a suspect, but it would still like to speak with him.
