Samoan brothers capture burglars in Tacoma, WA
Samoan brothers Robert and Fatu Tasi are being hailed as heroes in Tacoma, Washington, after they chased down and captured two burglary suspects in the Evergreen State.
According to Kirotv.com, the Tasi brothers were getting ready for work when they heard a woman across the street calling for help. The woman reportedly had returned home from work to find two men carrying electronics out her front door.
They even had her dog in one of their cars.
Kirotv.com reported, “When the Tasi brothers looked out the window in the direction of the homeowner’s screams, they saw burglars sprinting out of her house, and down the street. Both brothers took immediate action, without saying a word to each other.”
Robert is said to have ran out barefooted before jumping into his brother Fatu’s car. The brothers saw the suspects running in opposite directions, and they sprinted behind them. Robert told kirotv.com: “To be honest, I almost like lost him. Then I was like jumping him like (Seattle Seahawk) Earl Thomas, you know? I grabbed him and I pulled him down, and the police showed up right there.”
Seconds later, Fatu ran down the other burglar and told kirotv.com that he grabbed the suspect, threw him against the fence but “he was trying to fight back, trying to break and just run away.”
The suspects apparently weren’t aware of the fact the Fatu is a former heavyweight boxer.
After Tacoma Police arrested and booked the two suspects, Fatu and Robert received thanks from Tacoma police officers and the terrified homeowner. “I wasn't even afraid or scared,” Fatu told kirotv.com
“We’ve got God by our side to be honest with you, man."
