A BURGLAR who broke
into. a North Vancouver
home Monday morning
came face to face with the
occupant. who had been
working in the basement

After hearing noises of the
burglar breaking in. the
resident had armed himself
with a cam shaft. The sight
of # was enough to scare the
burglar straight through the
doorway he had just broken
through.

Still he found he'd bitten
off more than he could
handie, because the oc-
cupant chased after him
through neighbors’ yards.

A suspect’ was arrested
shortly after. when police
were led by a tracker dog to
a neighboring garage. where
it is alleged they found a man
hiding.

The sequence of events
began at about |! a.m. when
the owner of 2045 Fell
Avenue heard a loud thump
while he was working in the
basement. A second thump
was followed by the sound of
splintering wood as the door
of his home was kicked in.

The man grabbed a cam
shaft and went upstairs
where he confronted the
burglar, who fled and ran

through
properties.

Though the occupant of
the burgled house lost his
quarry in the chase, he
called the RCMP from a
neighbor's home. A tracker
dog led police to a nearby
garage where a man was
arrested.

RCMP report that the man
arrested was also wanted on
an outstanding warrant from
Alberta on suspicion. of
possessing stolen property.

aged 18. of no fixed address,
