Citizen’s Arrest! - Melvin Manhoef nabs alleged burglars after failed home invasion

Former K-1 star Melvin Manhoef may be gearing up for a bout against Yoel Romero this May, but it looks like he’s already picked up at least one win in 2022. That’s following a report from De Telegraaf, which states that the longtime Bellator fighter apprehended three men who were attempting to break into the fighters home.

According to reports, the burglars had previously cased Manhoef’s Landsmeer abode while he was out of the country. Unfortunately for them, it seems he was home for their actual attempted break in—giving high speed chase to the alleged criminals, before ultimately running them off the road.
