Hi Guys

I went for my normal stroll in town just now and came round a corner to notice a real commotion going on, a store security guard trying to pin down a guy that was wanted for stealing in the town the previous week, turns out it was a mountain bike and he had snips and other tools in his pocket, no one seemed to want to help but more than happy to stand and watch, so I grabbed one of his arms and pinned it down allowing the security guard to gain control of the situation until 6 police officers ran up and took him and his mate (being held by another store guard) away ....

Adrenaline was pumping but this is my home town and I've seen it go down hill in the 37 years I have lived here and thought its better to help than stand and watch...

Some might say silly for getting involved but it didn't think of that at the time just wanted to help...

Well done. If more people were prepared in intervene we'd have less crime in this Country. Without our support the police have not got a hope in hell.

As long as your actions were proportionate you'll be fine (I assume you didn't put the boot in?).
 
Haha you lot a right **** takers!

I should have known better

I'll where a cape next time

EDIT: No boots put in just helped restrain ...
 
ah man just got back from the Police Station

was off for a nice lunchtime bike ride through town today, and chain came off
so I get my tools out to start fixing it and some bloke in a security guards outfit started trying to steal my bike

I was just about to get away and some other bloke shows up and starts attacking me

Police turn up and after I explain what happened they were very sorry and let me go :p:p:p
