Another senior who accosted the burglar in his kitchen, almost died upon seeing the thief. He was so frightened he collapsed and was taken to the hospital some two hours later when a neighbour visited and found him on the floor. It was later discovered that the house was robbed of approximately $120,000 worth of items, including electrical appliances, a camera, several watches and about three cellphones.

Police are advising that persons take more caution in deterring easy access to their premises and are asking anyone who notices a male fitting the burglar's description to contact the police.

The man is about 5 feet 10 inches tall, stoutly built of dark complexion and wears an earring in his left ear.
