Citizens run down burglar in San Pedro

A suspected thief in San Pedro has been caught in the act and chased down by alert citizens. The drama unfolded around seven-thirty Wednesday night in the San Pedrito neighbourhood of the island town. According to police, Andy Tillett returned to his home to find his front door open. When he entered he saw a man jumping out the window and running away. Tillett called out for help and soon several neighbours joined the chase, successfully detaining the intruder until police arrived. The suspect, forty-three year old Marlon Monsanto, a resident of the same part of town, has been charged with burglary. The Commissioner of Police is congratulating those citizens who so ably stood up for their community.
