A police helicopter pilot thwarted a car theft at their home after spotting the incident through their doorbell camera while they were in the skies.

The Seminole County pilot’s Alert One helicopter was flying over Florida at 2am local time on Sunday when two suspects were picked up by the Ring doorbell.

The pilot quickly alerted neighbouring police squad the Volusia Sheriff’s office, before locating the suspects from the sky and aiding their pursuit.

Three suspects, aged 14, 15 and 16, were taken into custody after police successfully stopped their car – a stolen Acura RDX.

Inside the vehicle, there were also several wallets, a ski mask and a tool for breaking windows, and the suspects have been linked to car break-ins across the city of Deltona.
