A Penal welder helped police arrest three alleged intruders on Friday after they attempted to enter his home and fired several shots at him.

Police said the incident happened around 1 p.m. when Sanjeev Roopchan, 27, of Mathura Development, Mohess Road, was asleep and was alerted by barking dogs. He looked through a peephole and saw three men in his yard. Roopchan struck the glass on his front door, causing the men to run off on foot.
