80-year-old grandmother uses martial arts to arrest two criminals

On November 17, two young ex-soldiers decided to attack an old woman at her home in the town of Agde, in the south of France. They thought the 80-year-old Belgian was rich, so they planned to steal her house, but in reality it turned out to be a modest village on the Hrault River, France Bleu reports.

But this bad judgment was not the only obstacle and error in the thieves’ plan. That day, one of the two assailants, a 21-year-old former legionnaire, rang the bell. He wore a motorcycle helmet and carried a semi-automatic pistol (Although the weapon has not been recovered, according to reports).
