A man who returned home to find his house being burgled chased the burglars down the street, even after being punched in the head.
Rajinber Singh, 26, returned to his Sherson St flat in Greerton about 3.30pm on Thursday to find two men in the process of burgling it.
One man was standing just inside the door and the other was in the bedroom, he said.
"I tried to chase one guy but he ran away then the other guy hit me two times and then he ran away," Mr Singh said.
He followed the men to the end of the road where they escaped into the bush in the direction of Coopers Rd. He then returned to the house and called his flatmates who alerted the police.
