A father wrestled an intruder to the ground and threw him down his cellar steps as his terrified partner and children looked on.
Christine Henson and Mike Reed had been shopping with their four children when they returned to their home in early on Tuesday afternoon to find an intruder in their kitchen.
Grimsby Telegraph reports that Mike, 58, says instinct kicked in and he wrestled the man while shouting to his wife to call the police.
In the chaos, she couldn't find the phone because the man had taken it and added it to the two bags full of their belongings he was trying to steal.
The burglar struck in broad daylight, smashing a window to gain entry.
