A FEISTY 90-year-old German woman chased away three would-be burglars from her rural farmhouse with her cane, police said Monday.

    The retired farmer was moving around her house with the help of a walking frame and spotted the intruders — two men and one woman.

    She grabbed the cane and started beating the burglars with it. The trio fled the house in a town outside Muenster.

    “It was quite courageous of her,” a police spokeswoman said. “But on the other hand it was also quite dangerous. She was quite fortunate that nothing serious happened.”
