Myleene Klass cautioned by police for waving a knife ... in her kitchen
 
Quote:

The TV presenter and Marks & Spencer model Myleene Klass has been warned by police for waving a knife at teenagers who were peering into a window of her house late at night.

Klass was in the kitchen with her daughter upstairs when she spotted the youths in her garden just after midnight on Friday. She grabbed a knife and banged the windows before they ran away.

Hertfordshire police warned her she should not have used a knife to scare off the youths because carrying an "offensive weapon", even in her own home, was illegal.

Klass's spokesman, Jonathan Shalit, said the former Hear'Say singer was "utterly terrified" by the intruders and "aghast" at the police warning. "All she did was scream loudly and wave the knife to try and frighten them off," he told the Sunday Telegraph. "She is not looking to be a vigilante, and has the utmost respect for the law, but when the police explained to her that even if you're at home alone and you have an intruder, you are not allowed to protect yourself, she was bemused."

The warning issued to the model comes after a pledge by the Conservative party last month that they would make it more difficult for people who tackle burglars to be prosecuted.

The shadow home secretary, Chris Grayling, spoke out after Munir Hussain was jailed for beating a man who tied up his family in their home. He and his brother used a cricket bat to beat one of the intruders, who was left with a permanent brain injury.

A spokeswoman for Hertfordshire police said no reference was made in the Klass incident report about a weapon. She said the incident was being treated as trespass and "words of advice were given in relation to ensuring suspicious behaviour is reported immediately".

Klass, whose fiance, Graham Quinn, was away on business at the time of the scare, plans to step up security at the property, near Potters Bar.

Self defence is illegal

Burgalry is now a lawful occupation due too a court/ probation case and burglars need to be protected when going about their lawful business.

If they ever break in, you must assist them to removie your goods otherwise you will be liable if they injure themselves stealing your property.

You are not allowed to resist in any way if they want to do "other things" that is the law.

I am shocked that Mylene was not at least given a police caution or even arrested. Waving a knife around indicates a violent temprament. Have social services been informed of her propensity for such violent displays, so her child can be put on the art risk register. Better still removed today and placed in emergency foster care as Mylene must be considered a clear and present danger to her own child, after all that's how the SS usually act.

What the BBC are saying

Crimson Dynamo 11-01-2010 12:37 PM

like cautioned by police means anything. lol.

memo to Myleene: "live in a better part of the world"

Sticks 11-01-2010 04:02 PM

A police caution is equivalent to a conviction and counts as being part of a criminal record. This means she most likely will be barred from entering the US

She should not have waved a knife at burglars going about their lawful occupation of burglary. Nobody is above the law citizen

The BBC are saying Hertfordshire Police "vehemently denied" this story. So it's really their word against hers. I'm not sure who to believe.

If it had been the comically maladministered London Met, then I might have been inclined to take her side. But I wouldn't put it past Myleene to make anything up to increase her profile.

The last person who attempted to nick anything of mine was rewarded with 3 broken fingers.

That's the only way to deal with the thieving bastards in my opinion.
