A pair of surveyors were on a job site in Plantation, Fla. when a man armed with a gun approached them, ordered the workers to the ground, and demanded their property. While on the ground, one of the surveyors drew a gun and shot the criminal, ending the robbery.
In an interview with a local media outlet, the armed citizen’s employer described the surveyor as “a great kid.” The employer went on to say that robbers targeting surveyors is a significant problem, stating, “There is actually a law enforcement database of all of the robberies that are going on that are affecting surveyors and there has been hundreds of instruments and equipment stolen.” (WTVJ, Miami, Fla. 01/22/15)
