PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. -- A customer in Georgia used a shopping cart to help police stop a shoplifting suspect running away.



The incident happened last month, but the officer's bodycam footage was just released.



It shows the Peachtree City officer looking for a suspect in the parking lot of a Walmart.



The officer begins pursuing that suspect when a good Samaritan intervenes. He pushes his shopping cart into the suspect's path, stopping him.



No one was injured.



The suspect was one of two people accused of shoplifting at a nearby Home Depot.
