Breaking into someone's house is different from trespassing. As far as the trespassing is concerned, I don't think he should have detained them. He should have told them to leave and then called the authorities. However, the article said they broke into his home. Now if he came across them while in his home, that's a different story. In the article, it's unclear whether these were the ones who broke into his home. It doesn't sound like he came across them in his home.
