BOSHAM, England, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- A 12-year-old British girl said she discovered a burglar in her family's kitchen and drove him off with a swift kick in the groin.

Georgia Bulis-Gray said she heard a door slam while she was alone in her family's Bosham, England, house and discovered the stranger standing in the kitchen, The Sun reported Wednesday.

"He smiled at me and I thought, 'I do not want him thinking I am just a helpless little girl,'" Bulis-Gray said.

She said her solution was to kick the crook between the legs.

"I kicked him very hard. He groaned and then ran out of the side gate," the girl said.

Bulis-Gray said she called police and gave them a rough sketch of the intruder to aid in the search for a suspect.

The girl's mother, Joanna, 48, said she was "very proud" of her daughter's bravery.
