It is not everyday one is lucky enough to catch a burglar after breaking into the house and stealing properties.
Two thieves have met an unfavourable fate in South Africa after they fell asleep during a night operation at an elderly woman’s house.
They were reportedly caught sleeping outside the granny’s house in Hamanskraal, Pretoria, South Africa, moments after they had just robbed her home.
Photos and videos which are circulating on social media shows the thieves sleeping soundly while the home owner and neighbour’s gathered.
It was learnt that the reason they fell asleep is because of a special fortification charm known as muthi, which the woman used on her house.
A South African Twitter user said; ”This muthi is called “Nyangomba” in my culture, even when doors are open the thieves can’t find way to go out, until they fall asleep. This muthi can make a thug to unmove when gets inside your yard.”
