Can anyone help......If I disturb someone burgling my villa.... for example caught inside. If that person was injured would I be arrested? Is it like the UK - use as much force as is necessary and only in self defence. Or will the authorities have a different view?

You can only "restrain" them to the same degree that the TRNC police will !



That should give you plenty of options ! ;)

Exactly the same as in UK. There is a wealth of precedence on the subject matter.

to be serious, if they were armed I would have no problem using lethal force in self defence

If they were armed then as far as possible but in the opposite direction )

If they break into my house whilst I'm in there they won't walk out - for sure!

With a magazine of 30 rounds load ....... make ready .......... at your target in front, in your own time, carry on ! If gun fires one or two rounds and stops, remove the magazine,.... if there are no rounds in the chamber, replace the magazine, cock the weapon, and carry on firing ! Do not use a Bazooka as it is American crap and a 25 metre backblast within your villa is not good news ! In all seriousness anyone who breaks in whilst my Wildebeest (bless her) is present, has an immediate defence of insanity !

I agree with the comments here. If they were caught in my place, they wouldn't walk out!

my little Efes, even though he's a puppy acts as a very good guard dog. They wouldn't even get over the wall.
