A KILLER chipmunk terrorised a family by invading their kitchen and munching their Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.

Horrified trucker Bryan Foreman, 50, found the critter with its head in the cereal box.

He and wife Susan fear the rodent is one of the vicious Siberian chipmunks which The Sun last week warned were set to invade Britain.

The creature left Bryan and Susan's two cats shaking - and they and the family's dog now can't go into the garden.

Mum-of-four Susan, 44, from the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, said: "It was terrifying. I've never seen anything like it.

"We could hear it banging about in the kitchen and when my husband went in it had its head in the cereal and was munching away.

"He shouted and it ran back out into the garden.

"We think it had a good go at whatever else it found in the cupboards as well.

"My cats are traumatised. We're too scared to let them out in case it's still lurking."

French naturalist Guy Bruel, who issued one of the first Siberian chipmunk alerts, is sure the rodent was one of them.

Brace yourself this could be in your future. There are portions of this country where small rodents are extremely dangerous. In Colorado a few years back marmots (the largest of our ground squirrels, a close relative of the woodchuck) were for some reason being attracted to the brake lines of vehicles and they would if left alone would chew through the kines creating a dangerous situation.
However this story is just funny and the cure simple. Close the damn doors and windows. Double DUH!

I've heard about those ***** cats before, but they're even afraid of chipmunks?
