The Rock can add one more credit to his already impressive resume?crime fighter.

While filming a scene in Hackney, East London for the next Fast and Furiousmovie Dwayne Johnson apparently embraced the role he was playing by fending off some burglars who were trying to break into some vans near where they were filming.

Here is what a source told The Sun about the Great One scaring off the criminals.

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.

Apparently it helps to be filming a scene as a Federal agent when you are going to stop a group of criminals as Rocky was decked out in F.B.I. attire.

It is no surprise The Rock was able to scare these men off. He is an imposing figure even without a fake badge and flak jacket.

He is 6'5" and well over 250 pounds of muscle. Not a lot of people would see someone like that barreling down on them and not turn tail to run like crazy.

This further solidifies Rocky as one of the coolest people on the planet, and he joins LL Cool J in the "kick-ass club" after the latter punched out a burglar invading his home recently.

The last year has seen Rocky find success in a return to the ring, have great success at the box office and now he has stopped some burglars from stealing some vans.

Can anyone be a more true-to-life definition of the word "badass" than The Rock?

Rocky is set to return to WWE at the Royal Rumble in 2013 to challenge whomever the WWE Champion is at the time, but until then he will be filming his movie and possibly fighting crime with a cape and plucky sidekick.

I nominate The Hurricane to accompany Rocky on location to help prevent more crime in the future.

God, I love whenever WWE rolls up in Chicago. One of the best wrestling crowds in the world right there; only appropriate it's the hometown of the "best in the world". ;)

As for Punk's heel turn, does anyone else here get the feeling it's not going to work? Having him align with Paul Heyman is a good touch, but that's probably just gonna increase the cheers, now that you've got two of the best talkers in wrestling today side by side. I get the feeling that the old days of "good guys vs. bad guys" are done for; the fans cheer who they like, not who WWE tell them to like. Unless you're watching Saturday Morning Slam, in which case, welcome back to the 1980s! :p

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Umm, read my answer again! If you have something to add or contribute, feel free. Otherwise my point was that you apparently dont want faster updates... so you want slower updates by process of elimination. If you have something to contribute, meaningful answers are better.

    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love

      By Eder Cardoso · Posted

      These features described above are good, but far from what developers will like the most. The main feature that developers will care and love the most it's called "Bring Your Own Models". It gives us the ability to connect to LOCAL AI models running on Ollama. The feature it's located on GitHub Copilot tab -> On the model picker where you can select "manage models" instead of paid models and then it will show you the "Bring your own models" window where you can now select Ollama and the endpoint of your local server. So if you have a beefy spec machine you can now use your own model 100% local inside Visual Studio 2026 18.7.0
    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate by Usama Jawad Image generated with Microsoft Copilot Earlier this year, Microsoft planned to roll out a controversial location tracking feature in Teams, but following customer feedback, it decided to delay its release. The bad news is that the company has decided to launch it later this year, but it's based on roughly the same design that was shared earlier, which means that many users still have good reason to worry. Basically, Microsoft Places and Teams have received workplace check-ins via Wi-Fi. The idea is that if an employee arrives at the office and connects to their enterprise network, their profile status indicator will show them as being present in the office. For example, if you arrive at work, open Teams on your PC, and connect to the "Studio B" company Wi-Fi network, your Teams profile will indicate that you are present in "Studio B", as shown below: Microsoft says that this feature is basically a replacement for physical workplace check-in peripherals, it reduces the need to manually update your status, and it also enables co-workers to know that you're at work so that they can coordinate in-person meetings with you. IT admins can enable this workplace check-in capability at a tenant level, and users have the ability to control whether they want to enable it or not. Of course, all of that sounds great on paper, but naturally, many Teams customers may still have concerns, as they did before. This is because it enables your reporting manager and other members of the organization to track if you are at the office, when you arrive at the office, and where you are right now. This could be problematic for people who work in what they consider to be flexible work environments or hybrid setups, and this kind of location tracking could be considered an invasion of privacy. Microsoft has tried to alleviate some of these concerns by letting users know that they can manually set their location easily, which essentially overrides workplace check-in if they feel uncomfortable with it. However, that doesn't really solve the problem because your organization could enforce a workplace policy that mandates that this feature remains enabled. The Redmond tech giant has also assured users that this capability does not store historical data and is only a real-time indicator of location. Finally, it only generates a signal when you connect to a corporate network, which means that if you are working from home and connect your PC to your personal Wi-Fi, it won't broadcast your location to your employer; you will simply be shown as "Remote". Microsoft has encouraged IT admins to prepare for this change and begin informing users so they know what to expect once it begins rolling out later this year.
