Mangalore Dec 11: A tip-toeing intruder was nabbed and handed over to the police, in a daring and courageous act by a pair of twins, when he was found trespassing into their home at Kodialbail in the wee hours of Monday, December 10 and he was in the process of stealing house hold articles.  

The incident happened around 1.15 am when one of the residents of the house was half asleep; he was awakened by some movement inside his room. It was then that he happened to see a stranger, who went on to put a ring and mobile phone kept on the table into his pocket. It then dawned on Varun that the strange person was a thief and which made him more vigilant.  

When the thief turned around to observe Varun, the latter pretended to be asleep and kept his eyes shut, however the thief did sense that Varun was merely pretending to sleep so he tried to flee the crime scene. Immediately Varun started yelling to alert his twin brother, Arun who was sleeping in the hall. Together the duo then sprang into action and went after the thief, who ran down the stairs but was out-witted by the twins who were waiting to nab him at the base of the stairs.  

To escape this human wall, the thief then hit out at them with a radio piece, which he had stolen. The unexpected attack stunned the brothers momentarily but they recovered in time to grab and overpower the thief and handed him over to the Barke police.  

According to Varun, he must have entered the house from the balcony. He did state that he was hesitating when confronted by the thief and did not expect the latter to attack. But in the end managed to nab him, he added. Arun, the other twin stated that he and his brother hit out at the thief when he was caught red-handed stealing their possessions. Moreover, he said the police immediately reached to the spot in 15 minutes, on receiving the call from them.
