The villagers set fire to at least 16  police vehicles, record  books, furniture and part of the building  before reinforcements were  sent in to retake control of the station. The burglary suspect died while being driven to recover some of  the items he was reported to have stolen. Police claimed that the suspect jumped off the vehicle, but others  claim he was shot dead and pushed out. DPA</blockquote>
