Occupant tackles home invader

(CNS) UPDATED: the 39-year-old man from West Bay who was arrested following a home invasion last week has now been charged with criminal trespass, common assault, and breach of curfew. He was expected in court Monday, 6 April. A resident of a home on South Church Street in George Town tackled the would-be burglar on Tuesday night after finding the intruder in his house.

The home invader was confronted when he broke in at around 7:30pm; there was a struggle and the suspect ran off. Officers arrested the suspect on suspicion of burglary and common assault, after which he was taken into custody.
