Ten days into the grand opening of Rebelonging, a vintage shop in SoHo, the store found itself the target of an attempted robbery. It could have easily spelled the end for the young New York City business. However, the thieves didn’t plan for Tyrell Gibbs. Gibbs, the store’s security guard, broke protocol and put himself in harm’s way to protect the store.
The founder of the shop, who posts under the name krisjngg on TikTok, shared, “Ten days into opening our vintage store in Soho, we were hit with an attempted robbery. Four thieves with giant garbage bags came looking to come clear us out. And our amazing security guard, Ty, single-handedly prevented this crime. We might not have ever recovered from it. This is Ty, the true hero of our story. He broke all protocols to keep us safe.”
