Drunken vigilantes: Aussie lads foil robbery (VIDEO)

Two mates in Australia have become unlikely heroes after recording themselves foiling a robbery while they were already a few beers into the night.

He took to Facebook to say it all deserves a celebration, presumably with beer and a new pair of thongs.

This pretty much calls for a pub night! Haha someone come and drink some beers with us!
