Thieves Attempt To Rob Hialeah Juice Bar, 70-Year-Old Stops Them
Two would-be thieves messed with the wrong security guard very early this morning at Palacio de los Jugos in Hialeah.
The septuagenarian, a security guard who was trained in the Cuban marines, kicked the gun out of the hand of the armed man, drew his own weapon and chased both men away. It was all captured on surveillance cameras.So they got their asses handed to them by grandpa. Excellent.
What struck us though is the mention that the owner of the restaurant, Jose Gutierrez, has a $35,000 security system with 16 cameras. Plus a security guard. We expect this type of surveillance at places like jewelry stores (actually, they'd need more), stores in crowded malls, etc. But a juice bar and sandwich spot? Seriously? Do they even have that much cash on hand? If we were to rob a business, we don't think we'd choose a juice bar; perhaps these were rookies who decided to start out small. So good thing the security guard was there.
