WARRIOR, Ala. (FOX 13) -

An Alabama family took matters into their own hands the other day, holding a group of alleged thieves at gunpoint until authorities arrived to make an arrest.

The entire ordeal was caught on camera.

On Friday, the Wyatt family says that their Warrior, Ala., home was broken into, and they caught it on all on a home surveillance system. On Sunday, they say the alleged criminals returned to the scene of the crime.

A local TV news crew was at the home interviewing them about what happened Friday. The family had two TVs and their Christmas presents stolen. Surveillance video showed the criminals barging into their home and then leaving the scene.

As they were doing the interview, the family says the thieves drove by their house. 

"They happen to drive by and we seen them drive by, and we knew it was them and we stopped them," Chris Wyatt said.

Family members grabbed their guns, chased them down the street, and held two women and one man at gunpoint. The dramatic scene all unfolded on the local TV news crew's cameras.

Deputies say the trio is charged with carrying out a break-in just an hour before it happened. The items were found in their vehicle. However, they have not found the Wyatt's items yet. Charges are still pending in that case.

"Sure hope so, if they don't, at least we're all safe and in one piece, and they are off the street for now," Sarah Wyatt said.

911 Dispatcher Tells Octogenarian To Lower Her Weapon And Wait For Police While Thug Breaks Into Her Home

N.J. Logan, an 80-year-old Florida woman who had recently had hip replacement surgery, was resting at her home Holmes Beach, when some noises outside her window startled her. After discerning that it wasn’t her husband — who wasn’t expected home yet — her attention focused on protecting herself.

“Once I realized it wasn’t my husband… you have no idea how fast you can go,” Logan told Tampa’s Fox 13 News. “All I wanted was my gun.” The invader had smashed the plate glass of Logan’s door, and had then cut out the screen behind it. Logan didn’t know whether someone was still inside her house, or where in the house an intruder might be.

According to the report, Logan headed toward the source of the noise, gun in hand, yelling warnings at whomever had entered her home. “I really didn’t want to have to shoot anybody,” she said.

Only after arming herself did she call 911 for help. But the dispatcher repeatedly told her to put down her weapon.

“When I called 911, she [the dispatcher] kept saying, ‘put the gun down, put the gun down,’” Logan told Fox 13. “I said, ‘I’ll put the gun down when I see the police.’”

Not only is it a bad idea to throw away your best option for self-defense when someone intends to do harm to you or your property — it’s also a bad idea to take a firearm out of your own hands and place it in neutral territory, where the bad guy has an opportunity to grab the weapon and use your own gun against you.

Logan didn’t come face to face with the intruder (or intruders). They fled after she announced that she was armed. Local police had not found a suspect in the break-in as of Thursday afternoon.

“I believe in guns inside your house, because I don’t think anybody has a right to break into your private domain,” Logan said.

Holmes Beach Police Chief William Tokajer evidently sees things Logan’s way. “I think it’s a wake-up call to any would-be burglar,” he told Fox 13.
