According to Times Live, Brad Redmayne and his partner‚ Samantha Gregory‚ were following another car into an estate to pick up a family member when a car pulled up behind them and two people jumped out with weapons in hand. Upon seeing this, he pulled out his own firearm and sent the two men running off.
People should be prepared to not be the victim. If you’re the victim‚ they will pick up on that and you will be a victim.- Brad Redmayne
Fortunately, no one was injured, and it looks like these robbers may think twice before doing wrong in the future.
