Thieves No Match For 11 Year Old Girl
They breed them tough in Manchester, England. An 11-year-old girl who found armed men in her family home promptly attacked them with a curtain rod. The three balaclava-clad men had broken into the house after 11pm, where allegedly they held a gun to her father's head and threatened her mother with a brick. The disturbance woke their sleeping daughter, who ran into the room brandishing her weapon. The thieves then fled with some gold bracelets, having been "confused and startled" by the girl, according to police. The cops added, "Her actions were very brave, and at the same time it's very lucky she didn't come to any harm." And another story with more info: Armed thieves who targeted a family home in Greater Manchester fled after an 11-year-old girl tried to hit them with a curtain pole, police said. Three men in balaclavas broke into the home in Carnforth Road, Heaton Chapel on Wednesday and demanded valuables. The girl's father, 43, had a gun held to his head and his wife was threatened with a brick in their bedroom. The couple's daughter, who was woken by the disturbance, ran into the room with the pole and attempted to hit the men. A Greater Manchester police spokesman said the men then ran out of the back of the house, escaping with eight gold bracelets. Police have appealed for witnesses to the robbery, which happened at 23:20 BST. Det Con Matthew Whittaker, of Stockport CID, said police believe the girl's actions "confused and startled" the men, which caused them to leave. He said, "Her actions were very brave, and at the same time it's very lucky she didn't come to any harm. "Fortunately her actions have scared off the offenders, and perhaps it has stopped worse happening to the family than what did happen." |

The thieves clearly were not from the area or they'd have seen it coming.  |

Re: Thieves No Match For 11 Year Old Girl
Well done that kid, but to be fair they must have been rank amateurs to be scared off by a little girl.

That girl is lucky she wasn't killed. The thieves probably had no intention of killing anyone, so they bolted when confronted.
