Dear Editor:
I wish to thank the good Samaritan who reported an intruder breaking into my home on St. David Street South in Fergus on the afternoon of Nov. 2.
The intruder was attempting to break in by smashing a patio door while I was inside.
OPP advised me that a school child observed the intruder, ran home to tell their mother who called 911. The intruder was apprehended a few blocks away a short time later.
Thanks to the actions of the responsible young person, I did not have to confront the intruder inside my house.
Michael Pearson,
Fergus
