A robbery in progress was stopped when a store owner took matters into his own hands in the Heights, and it was all caught on surveillance video.

Nate Gorman and his wife are small business owners at Pearle Vision in the 3000 block of Yale street near IH-610. Gorman told ABC13 that their shop had been a target once or twice a week for six weeks. They want the men responsible to be held accountable.

On Thursday, Dec. 29, 2022 at about 5:20 p.m., two suspects were seen on surveillance video entering the store. Gorman said one of the suspects, shown in the white cap, was familiar with the store workers.

"I told them I was sick of them robbing us, and they needed to go," Gorman said.

Gorman reportedly told police the man with the white cap had been stealing from their business for several weeks, costing them several thousands of dollars in losses.
