They’re seen arguing over a pram which has a towel draped across the front.

“You stole from the store, do you want me to ring the cops?” the clerk can be seen shouting to the customer.

To which the woman replies: “Ring the cops”.

The worker then attempts to grab the pram, as the woman tries to move it out of the way. Throughout the video, she screams: “Let my baby go. Let go. Let go of my baby there”.

“Good on him for having some balls about it. No doubt he’ll get told off over it.....” wrote another commenter.

“This is a everyday experience in retail, she doesn’t have a baby in there but it’s becoming more common parents using their kids to help shoplift,” wrote a third.
