Thunder from Down Under Australian strippers confront Excalibur Hotel thief in Las Vegas who fired gun at them.

A team of Australian stippers who go by the name The Thunder from Down Under beat up and apprehended a gun-toting, possibly drug crazed thief who stole gear from their dressing room during their performance on March 18.

It all happened at the Excalibur hotel and casino on the Las Vegas strip where the troupe is in hot demand.

The man, who police believe may have been high on meth, somehow got into their backstage room, helping himself to items.

The men were performing at the time, unaware of the intruder. Some time after the theft, the men spotted the man still in the hotel and realized immediately he was in possession of their belongings.

Things got crazy: they confronted him - he pulled out a gun and fired a warning shot. The gunpowder burnt one of the beautiful men.

But he was overpowered and the dancers, billed as Australia's Hottest Hunks, gave him a beating he might never forget.

The as yet unnamed suspect was arrested and charged with charged with attempted murder with a deadly weapon, attempted robbery with a deadly weapon and burglary with a deadly weapon.
