Hi,
I let out a scream, grabbed my knife, and then went after the thief.
I let out a scream and grabbed my thief, then went after the thief.
Are both okay, No. which is common? Neither,
Than you in advance.

I am wondering why you wrote " I let out a scream" ? Where was your knife? When you try to put the words to show actions, you need to write the plot. That sets up the contrast and context.

This is what I mean: I was making a sandwich for dinner in the kitchen as I came home late from work. It is after nine, no time to fuzz with pots and pans. As I was cutting my sandwich, I noticed the patio door swinging open and an intruder appeared at the doorway. We were both shocked as this is not supposed to happen. Instinctively, I screamed "get out", grabbing the bread knife from the counter that I just used for defense and took another chef knife from the holder. He saw me with both knives in hands. He turned around beginning to run. I chased him out to the backyard and stopped as he disappeared in the dark.
