Legal Advice
Apprehending a shoplifter without a warrant

Dear PAO,

Someone shoplifted from my store the other day. I did not catch him in the act of stealing, and I only learned about it after reviewing my store's CCTV footage of that day. If this person returns to my store, can I apprehend him? Please advise, as I really want to send this person to jail so that he can pay for his criminal liability.
