Footage has shown another example of the shoplifting crime wave sweeping the UK and the brave heroes tackling the brazen thieves.
A video, captured on Thursday showed the unbelievable moment a shoplifter attempted to flee an Iceland store with a bag but was stopped by a member of staff who wrestled the thief.
The tussle, which also saw a passerby intervene, occurred outside a branch of the supermarket chain in Sudbury Hill, Greenford, west London.
In the clip, a man in a grey and black tracksuit attempted to run out of the store with a black bag as locals gathered round.
As a woman encouraged the man to run away, he was apprehended by a brave Iceland worker who grabbed the bag, spilling some of its contents, and was rewarded with a punch to the face by the thief.
