Nov. 28th, 2014 11:45 pmAUSTIN, TX (KVUE Local News) -- Armed robbers targeted employees at a BestBuy in northwest Travis County foiled by Television Hero.
Around 10:15pm tonight, three men wearing hoodies and masks walked into the Best Buy off Capital of Texas Parkway at Barton Creek Square and held the employees at gunpoint.
The suspects used a taser on the manager before robbing everyone of their money and cell phones. While the crooks attempted to empty the store's registers, reality television star Arthur Centino entered the establishment, taking the robbers by surprise.
Centino allegedly disarmed and subdued the man with the gun before tackling the others. One eyewitness employee stated that the ringleader seemed to levitate while another glowed. Neither statement has been confirmed by local law enforcement officers. No one has been reported to be hurt or injured.
Further reports of Centino, best known for his reality series Longshot for Survival, aiding community retail centers in the Austin area have been pouring in all evening from locals sharing cell phone pictures and video captures. We’ll be looking into these reports, but it looks like this Friday wasn’t Black at all due to Centino’s intervention.
