A shopkeeper who beat up a burglar who fell through his roof has lashed out at police after he was arrested.
Ravinder ‘Bobby’ Singh, 43, says he should have been called a “hero and held up on people’s shoulders” after subduing thief Jason Urwin, 51 at the time, in his corner shop Ennis Square Store in Dormanstown. The father-of-three said Cleveland Police instead arrested him in “broad daylight” the following day, which he says damaged his reputation in the community.
Bobby has relived the dramatic moments he and his friends, including close pal and employee Sukhwinder Singh, 30, had to fight thief Urwin “in self defence” at 3am when he fell through the ceiling of the Premier store, causing £6,000 worth of damage in November 2, 2021.
Bobby, who’s originally from Punjab, India, said: “We caught him and we had a man-to-man fight. Me and this lad, one of my employees, we beat him up.
“And the next day we got arrested! I said to the police that in the country and town I’m from, in India, I would have been the hero and the next day I would be held up on people’s shoulders! I’m not the bad guy.”
The 43-year-old had decided to stake out his own shop as Urwin had been seen removing ceiling tiles from the roof and nabbing spirits the previous night. The shopkeeper was determined to catch Urwin red-handed, so spent the night on the shop floor with his pals, each in sleeping bags. hey attached a kitchen knife onto a mop so they could loosen the ceiling tiles Urwin was resting on when he arrived. When Urwin eventually arrived at about 3am, he saw Bobby on the floor and he tried to escape.

Should’ve ditched the video camera and bought a cheap rug and a shovel.
Shoot, shovel, shut up…. Problem solved.
A problem if one lives in the UK.
Not a problem for Americans, and the Brits don’t like us messing with their governments.
1. It is Cleveland. 2. The law protects criminals.
He’s learning government at all levels will go after you and put you in a cage, fine you, seize your assets for simply defending yourself and what is yours.
Dormanstown
They have a town? Where was the door man?
In before all the “back the blue” boot lickers find this. The police ARE NOT on your side.
Just grabbing a quick beer.
Typical.
