PUNTA GORDA, FL (NBC) -

A Florida man called 911 to report a crime, but he didn't know he was alerting police to his own crimes.

Police in Punta Gorda say 22-year-old Martin Chiaravalloti called to report that his TV was stolen.

When police officers responded, the TV was gone, but while they were investigating, Chiaravalotti mentioned a string of air conditioning units thefts in the neighborhood.

When officers came out the next day to investigate five stripped AC units, they found foot prints leading from the units to Chiaravalotti's apartment.

He was arrested and remains in jail on a $7,000 bond.
