Chasing and apprehending an alleged robber might not be the natural reaction for most 14-year-old boys - but it was for Napier student Michael McGeorge.
An alleged attempted robbery from Napier's Arkwrights dairy has gone viral, due to the pink fairy costume worn by Liam Fontaine, one of the people who helped apprehend a man who allegedly tried to rob the store.
He was assisted by teenager Michael McGeorge, who had popped into the dairy with his girlfriend just before the man, wearing dark clothes and a balaclava, entered.
"I froze when he came in and kind of looked around, I kind of froze for a second," Michael said. "When he made his way out of the building, so I made my way out of the building, he started to run so I started to run after him".
The 14-year-old said he had not thought about what he was doing, but it was just a natural reaction.
