Brave teen takes away cutlass and shotgun from bandits
A teenager from the mining Town of Linden threw caution to the wind and relieved two bandits of their cutlass and a shotgun in daring display of bravery early yesterday morning.
His actions forced the two bandits who had invaded his family’s home to flee empty handed.
Police in a press release stated that at about 01:30 hours yesterday, two men armed with a shotgun and a cutlass pushed open the door and entered the home of a man at Wismar, Linden.
At the time the man was at home with his reputed wife and her 18-year-old son and her daughter.
According to the police, 18-year-old first confronted the man with the cutlass and took it away from him, during which he received minor injuries.
Undaunted, the teenager now armed with the cutlass, then confronted the man with the shotgun, and wrested the firearm from the bandit. During this scuffle a round was discharged boring a hole in the roof of the building.
Both bandits made a hasty retreat and escaped. The firearm, a 12 gauge shotgun and the cutlass were handed over to the police who are conducting investigations.
