• An American driver, Uber, dropped a pbadenger at a California airport and then attempted to rob the person's home, US police said.
• He was photographed.
• The suspect is accused of breaking into another house in the area.

An American driver Uber was filmed trying to enter the house of a pbadenger after filing in an airport, police said.

The San Mateo Police Department in California, near San Francisco, announced Monday that it arrested an Uber driver, Jackie Gordon Wilson, and charged him with first-degree robbery and attempted first-degree robbery on Friday. .

The police said Wilson, 38, had landed a pbadenger at an airport and an hour later he was filmed by the same pbadenger's Ring security system. Officers said he was upset by the outbreak of an alarm system.

He is later charged with going to another house in the area, which the police have described as "completely ransacked" with multiple stolen objects. This house also had a ring system and the owner had loaded a suspect sequence on the Ring platform, where other users had identified him as an Uber driver.

Business Insider has contacted Uber for a comment.

"We removed driver access to the application as soon as we were informed of the allegations and are ready to badist the police in its investigation," Uber said in a statement released to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The San Mateo Police Department emphasized the value of home security systems such as Ring, which belongs to Amazon. "The police are solving more crimes with surveillance cameras and license plate reading systems," police said.

The company specializing in fiber optics up to the home, Vumatel, plans to deploy a large number of CCTV cameras in Johannesburg, but the plan has been greeted with mixed feelings and privacy concerns.
