The woman who helped stop an alleged shoplifter at a Walmart in Campbell River, B.C. said it was a “gut reaction” to pull off the man’s balaclava so he could be identified on camera.

Elaine Gallaway, 73, has been praised in her community for her actions. A video of her confronting the man on Saturday morning was shared widely on social media.

“When he pushed me, that was a boiling point,” she told Global News on Monday. "I'm fed up with this stuff that goes on in Campbell River."

Asked if she would do it again, Gallaway said she likely would. She did not, however, recommend that anyone else replicate her actions, as a confrontation could lead to personal injury.
