If a person steals from a shop who is allowed to stop them after they leave the shop premises. Without going down the route of Civilian Arrest am I correct in thinking that only a member of staff from the shop itself can stop the thief but then once stopped anyone can help detain the thief.

Links to Law websites with reference to this or information from people who work in the Law would be much appreciated.

I would just like to know for a study that I am doing.
