An off-duty Swedish police officer says she was sunbathing with friends in a park when someone tried to steal one of their phones. Here’s why that was a very bad idea.
Mikaela Kellner said she and some friends were taking a walk at a park in Stockholm when a man came up trying to sell them magazines.
Kellner said they refused his offer, but as soon as he walked away one of her friends realized her phone was missing.
That’s when Kellner jumped into action. She ran after the man and forced him on the ground with the help of one of her friends who is also a police officer.
“He tried to run away, so I had to do something to keep him down until police arrived,” she said.
That’s when one of her friends became one in this photo, which Kellner later uploaded to Instagram.
Some uniformed police officers later showed up to arrest the man. Meanwhile, the photo of Kellner stopping him moving in her bikini is blowing up in Sweden after the Aftonbladet wrote about it.
Kellner compared the thief’s skill to a magic trick. She said he put a magazine down on their blanket while he was speaking to them, covering the phone he was going to take. Then he quickly took both away as he left.
“A lot of people get stolen like this,” Kellner said, adding that her main idea for sharing the photo was to warn others in the park about keeping an eye on their valuables.
“I never thought it should be this big when I put the picture on my Instagram and Facebook,” she said.
The man was later charged with stealing, Kellner said.
Kellner, who is also a fitness coach, is clearly not someone you should mess with. She said that in her 11 years as a cop, she has arrested many others in the same way. “But I have never done this just in a bikini before. That is quite unusual.”
She said the reaction to her photo of the arrest has been mostly positive, with many people praising her for her quick reaction. But Kellner said there wasn’t much to think about.
“It’s my job,” she said. “I’m a police, this is what I do.”
