This item popped up in my news feed and so thought it was recent, but it actually happened in 2012.
Too late now to cancel the thread, but never too late for a chuckle..

"Two masked men walked into J.a.c.line Depanneur around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, and brandished knives, demanding cash from the register.
That’s when store owner, Zhen Yang, grabbed a can of bear spray and let loose on the would-be thieves.
Yang also snagged one of the suspects as he tried to leap over the counter and spanked him several times as his pants slipped from his waist."
