Karate DC puts police housebreaker under arrest

Kericho DC Peter Mooke whose hobbies include karate and boxing, was only slightly injured in a fight with what he thought was an ordinary burglar. But the intruder turned out to be an Administration policeman. Mr Mooke said he had just seen off a visitor on Wednesday evening when he returned to find a stranger in the house.
The intruder had got in and hidden in the toilet as he waited for the DC to go out. Said Mr Mooke: “It is because of my boxing and karate skills that I was able to tackle the assailant before he bit my finger and tried to escape.” The DC said he wrestled the man for 10 minutes before he was arrested by security personnel.
He said he later discovered what had been happening. “I had on different occasions lost Sh12,000 and four wrist-watches from the house without any signs of break-in,” said the DC. “An AP had made a duplicate key to my official residence main door. He then gave the key to his colleague who once worked in Kericho,” said the official whose family lives in Kajiado district.
Two officers were helping police with investigations, Kericho division deputy police boss Edward Mwamburi said.

I suppose the morale of the tale must be, if you’re a karate or boxer guy, don’t bother grappling because you can’t.

Hmmm, interesting. I went to check the news site that carried the story and it’s disappeared. This is not a rare occurrence. This must be a practice of some web sites to never place their news stories into an archive.
That being the case, if you want to check the validity of the news account, be sure you click the link provided when it is posted, the sooner the better. Something I’m certain Phrost does prior to leading with and using it as Bullshido news.

I think the moral is biting can trump grappling.
THAT WOULDN’T WORK ON THE STREET!

KFSS-That’s odd, I guess the smaller companies may not be able to justify the cost of extra storage space the article provides.
Most other sites move them into archives and possible ask for a user fee for older articles.
