A business owner in Phoenix, Arizona took matters into his own hands after a group of men robbed his business, according to a Local 6 News report.




Police say three armed suspects walked into the the Mr. Insurance building in Phoenix and demanded money. A fourth suspect was in the getaway car, according to the report.

Ivnestigators said after the suspects left with the store's money, the co-owner jumped into his Hummer and chased after the suspects.

Police said that the man, identified only as Peter, followed the suspects through a neighborhood and eventually caught up with them. He then rolled his Hummer over their car.

Two of the suspects were taken to the hospital in critical condition.

The two other suspects managed to get away but police later caught them as well.

It is not known if Peter will face charges.

You really have to see the picture to appreciate this story. The Honda wasn't recognizable as a car and the H2 didn't have a scratch.

"It is not known if Peter will face charges"

Assault with an expensive weapon.

I bet the cops got there just as he was about to "peel out" on their useless carcasses! He'd be in hot water, though, unless the Court of Public Opinion makes enough noise to vindicate him.

That's the best use of a Hummer I've heard of.

anybody see this? I guess they are not that tough...

Hummer H2 = very square, very expensive Suburban. Looks of a Hummer with a GM SUV chassis underneath.

[JeremyD]

That's exactly what it is... I like the looks of it - for a SUV

Like I said, I saw the video of this on the news last night and couldn't believe it. I promise photos of this will hit the web soon. I looked on all the local stations web sites and coulnd't find it. It will probably be up in a few days... after this goes OT.

had an H2 in the shop the other day..........
you know the hook hoops on the real hummers hood/frame?.........
the ones on the H2 are plastic
and yes...it's a suburban.

Now, if he'd had a Cayenne, he wouldn't have had all that trouble catching them AND he could've still crushed them (there! Porsche content!)

I'm not normally a big fan of Vigalante-ism, but, "heh heh heh"

[JeremyD]

Chris me neither - but I hope he crushed 'em like a grape!

Always interesting to see how the other side of the universe is doing.

That would be the H1 - no plastic tow hooks on that!
