Dwayne Johnson Wards Off Burglars

DWAYNE 'THE ROCK' JOHNSON scared off a gang of would-be thieves on the set of his latest film.

The 40-year-old actor spotted a group of youths breaking into a warehouse in Hackney, East London while filming 'The Fast And The Furious 6' and stormed off the set mid-scene - dressed in full FBI agent costume - to chase the burglars away.

A source told The Sun newspaper: ''It was so funny. The Rock looked like an action hero because he had his flak jacket on and an FBI badge in his hand.

''All of a sudden there was loads of gunfire and this giant dressed as a copper was about to mow them down.

''The lads jumped out of their skin and scarpered down the canal path and left the crew in peace. They must have thought they were in the middle of a real-life action movie.

''Now the crew are joking that they should drop security and just have The Rock do it.''

The former wrestler managed to prevent the theft of expensive equipment thanks to his quick thinking and his impressive 6'5'' frame.

'The Fast and the Furious 6' also stars Vin Diesel and singer Rihanna, who is set to play a villain in the popular film franchise.
