A 14-year old girl in Massachusetts warded off a man who broke into her house -- and police said she even helped them catch a suspect.
The girl was sleeping in her home in Middleborough when she woke to the sound of an intruder, according to a news release from the Middleborough Police Department. She saw a man stealing things in her house -- then grabbed two kitchen knives and confronted him, her mother told reporters.
The intruder dropped the items and fled, police said. But the girl captured video of his vehicle and its license plate on her cell phone.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
