 A GREAT-grandfather has told how heused a baseball bat to fight off two thieves who were ransacking hisgun cabinet and stole a cache of weapons.

The 70-year-old grandfather-of-10, whohas one great-grandchild, told Perthnow he swung his bat at bothyoung men who were smashing into his gun cabinet and attempting tosteal his utility at his Alexander Heights home early today.

The fit and feisty grandad, who wantedto be known only as John, said he was struck in the body with thesledgehammer the robbers were using to break into his gun cabinet..

He described how he was awoken justbefore 5am to find his prized Ford XR6 ute on the driveway with itsdoors wide open and a man smashing his gun cabinet open with asledgehammer.

He told Perthnow he fought for severalminutes with two young men, both dressed in hoodies, striking both ofthem with his baseball bat.”

Should be more of it, I reckon.
