TEENAGE thieves targeting vans parked on a council estate forced open the doors of one - and were confronted by four SAS men on a stakeout. Two of the Who Dares Wins heroes stayed put while the other two chased the panic-stricken tearaways and gave them "a bit of a slap".

I remember several years ago, some poor guy tried to rob a restaurant while they were hosting an FBI agents party.

Wouldn't you love to have a video of that one... People wildly flipping coins to see who gets to arrest the guy...

A bit of a slap?

And did their parents collect them at the hospital later, or did they need a bit of a stay there?

Thanks for the ping.
Ah Manchester it just never changes, read the other day two lads broke into a house only to be confronted by a soldier on leave.

He kicked the sh$t out of them both while he was naked EEK LOL.

Not chance as the SAS has immunity from many issues in the court, even when they killed 4 IRA terrorists in broad daylight they did not have to go to court.

I seem to recall working with a few blokes who talked
like you. They flew or maintained these awesome jump-jets
hopping all over the place causing chaos..

Cheeky lot, them.
