Camera footage caught the moment a woman pushing a baby in a pram was busted by security for suspected shoplifting.
The incident, which happened in Ilford, east London, shows two women walking along the high street with a pushchair when they are confronted.
As they try to walk away a security guard puts out an arm to stop them from leaving. One of the women -holding a large teddy bear- throws something at a security guard and shouts ‘get your hands off my son’.
A third security guard then rushes into the fray and rips a large laundry bag out from under the pram which is suspected to contain stolen goods.
The video was posted to X and has been viewed more than 300,000 times.

As security search the contents of the bag, the baby in the pushchair starts to cry and the argument continues.
The woman holding the teddy bear then appears to kick one of the security guards who quickly pushes her away.
The two women eventually agree to go with guards and follow them off camera.
People have responded to the video on social media. One person said: ‘Good to see security actually doing security.
‘Well done to those guards. Hope their management shows their appreciation.’
Another added: ‘Retail workers are having to put up with this day and night.
‘The police do nothing, even when given absolute factual evidence, they do nothing.’
One person remarked: ‘Pity someone didn’t call the police too although at least can see their faces hopefully they’re embarrassed’.
Another commented: ‘I like the way the security just took the bag of stolen goods problem partially solved very quickly.’
