In this case, I agree with you. The two women were not in any immediate danger, but put themselves in such by making their presence known and thus making them a danger to the burglar. They should have called the police instead and documented everything they possibly could about the situation and suspect.

Of course, this is not taking into account possible variables such as the presence of people in the apartment which was being broken in to. The two women may have known the tenents of that unit, if there were any, and wanted to protect them from possible harm. If that was case, then I can't say that I really blame them for what they did.
