James Ross-Munro Kane Wiblen

Take a break and watch this shirtless man stop a robbery at a fast food restaurant

It would seem he removed his shirt especially for his heroics.

TWO MEN ARE being hailed as heroes for stopping a robbery after leaving a ‘stubbies and singlets’ party, while one of them was shirtless.

This happened at a service station in Arundel, off the Gold Coast in Australia.

At the start of the video the two men can be seen observing the scene of the crime from a distance, before realising what was going on, and moving in on the robbers.

The premises being robbed is Oporto, an Australian chain of Portuguese-themed fast food restaurants.

And it would seem that James Ross-Munro’s shirtlessness in the video is no accident.

He can be seen at the start of the video wearing a singlet, with it being removed just before he confronts the thieves.

After removing the key from the ignition of the getaway vehicle, James declares: “I’ve got the fucking keys, ya robbing yack c***s”.

The proceedings were filmed by Ross-Munro’s accomplice Kane Wiblen.

The thieves are then seen attempting to make a getaway in the car, before realising the keys are missing and taking off on foot.

James – who is barefoot – then takes off after the pair.

The two men later appeared on Australian news show Today, where James explained that they had been going down to “the servo to get some noodles” after attending a “stubbies and singlets” party when they saw the car pull up and one of the men entering the premises.

The video of the men stopping the robbery was posted to the internet last week and has been viewed more than 1 million times.
