Samuel is the hero of the day: the 13-year-old was sick in bed on Tuesday when he was woken up by the ringing of the doorbell. When the teenager – he was home alone – was looking on the ground floor, he suddenly came face to face with a burglar who was about to enter the house through a window.
“Samuel slept around 10am because he was sick. Suddenly someone rang the front doorbell, which cheered him up,” says the father of the 13-year-old student. “He called me first and I said it must be another nervous parcel deliverer.”
Entered the house through the window
Suddenly the teenager heard noises and went from the first floor of the single-family house in Linz to the ground floor. From the hallway he saw a burglar who had just entered the house through the bathroom window and already had one foot in the building, with his accomplice behind him.
Burglar caught
‘Samuel then said, ‘Hi, what are you doing?’ said,” the father continues. The two burglars are said to have reacted surprised and then ran away. The young detective was even able to provide precise information about the appearance of the criminals and the direction of escape, and a suspicious vehicle was also identified on surveillance images in the area.
Young hero
That same afternoon, police officers arrested two suspected Poles in Hellmonsödt, who were clearly identified as the perpetrators by the 13-year-old. They were taken to Linz prison. “Samuel is a hero, the way he did it was brilliant,” said his visibly proud father.
