A standoff between an intruder and a courageous domestic worker foiled a house robbery in Storms River yesterday.
An intruder was arrested in the premises after an armed response of a private security company responded to a panic alarm.
On Tuesday, 9 November around 05:45, it is alleged that a domestic employee was busy with her chores at a house in Storms River Village, when a young man asked her for water, and she gave it to him.
It is further said that after a young man left, an employee continued with her chores, but moments later found the same young man inside the bathroom, presumably entered through a bathroom window.
It is said that an intruder attempted to grab a laptop, and a scuffle ensued between the two.
During a scuffle, a domestic worker managed to press a panic button to activate an armed response of a private security alarm.
An intruder was arrested outside the house by a security officer as he was attempting to flee.
A domestic worker and her 90-year-old homeowner were not injured during the incident.
A 19-year-old suspect was arrested and is due to appear in the Storms River magistrate’s court soon on charges of attempted house robbery.
