The woman tried to block the thief’s cart using her own cart and screamed “excuse me”. She attempted to pull off her balaclava in order to reveal her face. After pulling off her balaclava, she involved herself in a tug of war situation with the alleged thief. Eventually, the brave woman pulled over his cart. She screamed and yelled at him and eventually was able to stop him from taking the goods. Furthermore, she yelled that it is because of people like him that prices get “jacked up”.

Darrell Johansen originally posted the video to Facebook, claiming to have alerted police and to be aware of other thefts at the Campbell River Walmart. He had spotted the thief within five seconds of entering the store. He knew beforehand that he was about to run. Moreover, he said that he would want to be partners-in-crime with the elderly woman who stopped him from stealing and running away.

The video of the incident has gone viral ever since Darrell Johansen posted the same. The video has received over 800,000 views and people are complimenting the brave grandmother for her heroic deed. Nevertheless, some people noted that she was fortunate as the thief wasn’t carrying a weapon.
