Police have praised two quick-thinking members of the public who leapt into action to help an officer chase down a shoplifter.
The man ran away from Marks and Spencer at Manchester Fort Shopping Park in Cheetham Hill with 'stock' believed to include a bottle of red wine, GMP said.
An officer gave chase, and was quickly joined by two members of the public from Moston.
Police said that together, they helped detain the man ahead of his arrest.
The 'stock' was later recovered and returned to the store.
GMP Manchester North said a 'big thank you' to the two involved, writing on Facebook: "You know who you are."
The man, who hasn't been named, is due to be summonsed to appear in court, GMP said.
