A black-belt karate expert was no match for pepper spray used in a brazen jewelry-store heist Thursday in a Langley mall.
Mirek Mituta, a Mission karate instructor, was in the store looking at watches when six men began to rob the store.
"I saw three guys jump over the counter, and I thought, 'Oh, my gosh, they are robbing [the store],'" Mituta told The Province.
Mituta saw the robbers roughing up the women behind the counter, so he instantly sprang into action.
"I just jumped over the counter and grabbed the big guy in a headlock," he said.
