A dramatic police chase unfolded in a store parking lot after a woman allegedly stole roughly $500 worth of merchandise and attempted to outrun officers. Bodycam footage shows the suspect sprinting across the lot with a large bag of unpaid items as an officer yells for her to stop.
Despite repeated commands, the woman continues running, weaving through parked cars as the officer closes in. Witnesses in the parking area looked on in shock as the chase intensified under the midday sun.
According to authorities, store security had already alerted police before the woman exited the building, leading to a rapid response. Officers say the suspect attempted to flee rather than surrender, turning a simple shoplifting call into a dangerous pursuit.
The chase ended moments later when an officer managed to intercept and detain her safely. The merchandise was recovered, and the woman now faces multiple charges, including theft and resisting arrest.
The video has quickly gone viral, with viewers commenting on the suspect’s bold attempt to escape and praising the officers for handling the situation without escalation.
