BERLIN – A feisty 90-year-old German woman chased away three would-be burglars from her rural farmhouse with her cane, police said yesterday.
The retired farmer was moving around her house with the help of a walking frame and spotted the intruders – two men and one woman.
She grabbed her cane and started beating the burglars with it. The trio fled the house in a town outside Münster.
“It was quite courageous of her,” a police spokeswoman said. “But on the other hand it was also quite dangerous. She was quite fortunate that nothing serious happened.” – (Ruters)
