It is the season of giving and sharing and a teen who was caught red-handed was given a sound thrashing before he was handed over to the police. This was after he and his accomplice broke into a home in Sophia and held up a family at knifepoint while demanding cash and other valuables.
During the ordeal, the grandmother of the home was chopped on her right hand as she fought off the bandits.
Before escaping, his accomplices helped themselves to leftover black and sponge cake leaving their partner in crime behind. He is now in custody while the others are being sought.
