Woman catches would-be thief at Whole Foods in Florida
The moment a woman caught a would-be thief who tried to snatch her wallet from a shopping trolley has been captured on camera.
The woman, who has not been identified, is seen in the video grabbing a few items from a wall-fridge at the Pompano Beach Whole Foods in Florida last month.
The crook, who police are still trying to identify, is pictured at the start of the video wearing a blue jacket, white t-shirt, and black shorts as he enters the grocery store.
Then, having acquired his shoplifting target, he takes the jacket off, tucks it under his arm, and walks towards the woman, according to WSVN.
