An off-duty Chatham-Kent police officer put in a little unexpected overtime recently, tracking down a shoplifter.
Police say on Sunday, someone had targeted multiple stores in a St. Clair Street strip mall. A store staff member confronted the man, police say, and he fled with stolen merchandise on a stolen bike.
The staff member flagged down an off-duty cop, who caught up to the suspect and held him until on-duty officers took over.
A 25-year-old Chatham man faces multiple theft charges.
