Woman Near Pattaya, Thailand, Fires Three Warning Shots to Drive Off Fence-Climbing Intruder; Man Caught by Villagers and Police
An attempted home burglary in the Huai Yai area of Bang Lamung district, Chon Buri province, Thailand, ended with a 45-year-old woman homeowner firing three warning shots into the air to drive off a man who had climbed the fence into her home at night, confronting him at a distance of less than 10 metres.
Thai media reported that the man climbed back over the fence and fled into the woods, and was then apprehended by villagers and officers from Huai Yai Police Station. The homeowner said afterward that she was still shaken.
Villagers said the man had been breaking into several homes in the community over the preceding days, leaving residents fearful and warning one another, and that people in the community were relieved when he was finally caught.
Bang Lamung district, which includes Pattaya, has seen a series of home break-ins recently, and police have urged residents to lock doors and windows at night and watch for suspicious persons.
