In a bungled burglary in Kratie town on Monday, a robber pilfered goods from a 25-year-old woman’s house, not knowing she was on her way home.

Police said the suspect thought the coast was clear when he broke into the residence, only for the owner to arrive mid-burglary.

The panicked thief attacked the woman and fled the scene, leaving police still scratching their heads as to his whereabouts. DEUM AMPIL
