Garfield Heights, OH - A 15-year-old shoplifting suspect led officers on a chase through a Garfield Heights neighborhood, police said, and the pursuit was caught on body camera.

The bodycam footage starts at 10:46 a.m. on Dec. 14 with the Garfield Heights police officer getting out of his cruiser.

The short chase on foot through several snow-covered yards and over fences lasted just about 38 seconds before the teen was apprehended.

The tracker on the officer showed he reached speeds of 8 MPH while running after the teen.

GHPD did not specify what the teen was suspected of stealing.

“10 degrees out with heavy snow? That’s ok.

15-year-old running and hopping fences? Not a problem.

All that for shoplifting? **** right.
