A suspected shoplifter received instant karma when he was taken down by two police officers on bicycles manufactured by a toy store.
The footage, shared by the Havering branch of the Metropolitan Police, shows the man leaving the Marks & Spencer store in The Liberty Shopping Centre, Romford, east London, with a basket full of seemingly stolen goods.
Wearing a checked blue shirt with denim shorts and white trainers, the suspected thief then appears to notice he is being tailed by one officer and begins running away from them while holding the basket.
Looking to cross the road, the man then runs straight into the path of the other officer, whose oncoming bike he collides with.
Shouts of 'Alright, mate, stop where you are,' and 'Police. Stop where you are now,' can be heard before he is apprehended, his basket whittling away as he is brought down.
