Police often prowl the Internet to identify potential child molesters to entice them into meetings where they are arrested based on Internet chats they have with the accused. Now, we are seeing the social networks such as Facebook, MySpace and YouTube are being monitored by police investigators. This month, several Washington state police agencies trolling Facebook raided a teenager's party based on postings from friends of the host. Several people were arrested for DUI and underage possession of alcohol.

Social Networks Monitored By Police to Detect Teen Crimes

Several law enforcement agencies converged on a Toledo Washington residence after someone posted news of a large party on their Facebook account. Members of the Toledo Police, the Lewis County Sheriff's Office, Winlock Police and the Washington State Patrol participated in the response.

Eight people were arrested for being under the age of 21 in possession or under the influence of alcohol. An arrest for driving under the influence in Washington was also made as partygoers left the scene. The county sheriff said that underage drinking is a serious concern and his office has a zero tolerance stance on the issue.

The homeowner and his friends are under investigation for providing alcohol to minors.
