Bad Idea: Stealing From Mounties


CHILLIWACK, B.C. - A crook picked the wrong target when he tried to break into a truck in Chilliwack, B.C., Sunday.


The vehicle was owned by RCMP Staff Sgt. Suki Manj and his wife, Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth, who were both off-duty and at home at the time.


When Manj spotted the would-be thief he rushed outside in -5 degree temperatures wearing only his shorts and got involved in a struggle with the bad guy.


Hollingsworth called 911 before joining her husband in the fight, along with some neighbours who came to help.


Officers arrived on the scene and arrested a 25-year old man from Chilliwack, who's since been released and will appear in court in February.


The married officers suffered frost-bitten toes while Manj also pulled his back.
