《国家商业评论》出版商Todd Scott说，奥克兰中央商务区阿尔伯特街的Woolworths Metro 的一名男子似乎试图拿走一箱酒，并恐吓员工。
当这名男子面对商店员工并背对着斯科特时，一个机会出现了。
斯科特说：“我采取了奔跑扑搂，因为他体型庞大。”
“I took a running tackle, because he was a big unit,” Scott said.
“我有一度把那个人压在地上，拇指锁着，膝盖放在肩膀上，我的体重压在他身上，他非常顺从。”
斯科特说，他在男人耳边低声说了几句话，这似乎让他平静下来。
“在那之后，我们帮助他离开地面，他与商店经理握手，然后离开了。”
然而，店经理告诉斯科特，这次扑搂行为在法律上可能被视为一种袭击。后来，警察告诉他“最好不要参与其中”。
斯科特说，自事件发生以来，他一直感到“有点尴尬和困惑”，因为他了解到公民的逮捕只有在特殊情况下才是合法的。
“我妻子很生气，所以我一直低着头。”
Woolworths的一位发言人拒绝对商店行窃事件发表评论，称“我们不想参与放大这些事件或实施这些事件的人。”

然而，他们说，自疫情爆发以来，其超市出现了“攻击性、威胁性和厚颜无耻行为的不可接受的增长”。
斯科特说，如果逮捕公民在新西兰是非法的，那么法律需要改变。他相信公民干预的威胁会减少犯罪。
“可悲的是，不到七分钟后，另一个人拿着三箱酒走出了商店。”
警方发言人表示，他们已被叫去处理该事件，但当他们到达时，被指控的罪犯已经离开了。他们被告知斯科特已经干预了。

“警方承认这位公众表现出的介入的勇气，然而一个更安全的选择是报警，如果这样做是安全的，请跟随该人并提供描述和/或任何车辆号码，然后等待警察到达。”
《犯罪法》规定，任何人都可以逮捕对犯罪最高刑罚至少为三年的人。该规则也可以适用于“夜间”发生的事件。
该法案下的适用罪行可能包括谋杀、入室盗窃、袭击或入室盗窃，但不包括扰乱秩序行为或涂鸦等罪行。
警方发言人说：“这些情况可能是不稳定的，我们强烈鼓励人们在参与之前首先报警。”
