A police officer in California was in the right place at the right time - walking into a shop as a robbery was in progress.

As the employee finishes placing money into the plastic bag, Sergeant Hernandez of the West Covina Police Department walks in.
The clerk quickly alerts the officer of the situation and Sgt. Hernandez is seen chasing the suspect out of the door.
He arrested Ramon Gonzalez, who was booked for robbery, felon in possession of a firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon.
