Old man scares off burglars with a bugle!

A pensioner scared off two burglars who broke into his home with a loud blast on his bugle


Alex West, 78, hid behind a door and gave the two men a "short sharp burst" when they crept past.

The bachelor, who lives alone, keeps the homemade instrument on his pillow for "emergencies".

He said the burglars, who broke in through a downstairs window at 2.40am on Wednesday, ran off empty-handed only to be caught by Police.

Mr. West said “It's is the best burglar alarm a man can have. Now the neighbours will always know if I'm in trouble".

Point to Ponder: Burglars blown away?
