Security guards do much to prevent crimes from taking place, but they also help law enforcement capture criminals. Such was the case when a guard helped with apprehending a Huntington Park man who robbed 19 Trader Joe’s throughout Southern California.

The security guard spotted the robber leaving the store and then jumping into a get-away car. The security guard got into his car and followed the robber onto the freeway until the suspect was pulled over by a California Highway Patrol officer. The robber was just sentenced to 21 years in prison. The quick-thinking security guard was instrumental in getting this serial robber off the street.
