This Bikini-Wearing Swedish Cop Tackled a Thief — Then Instagrammed It

Off-duty Swedish police officer Mikaela Kellner was sunbathing in a Stockholm park this week when one of her friends’ phones went missing.

Kellner, who was dressed in a bikini at the time, quickly realized that the most likely suspect was a man who had just passed by selling newspapers.

So she didn’t hesitate, and chased him with a fellow cop friend, then tackled him to the ground and arrested him. Because this is 2016, the ordeal was caught on camera, and Kellner posted it on Instagram, where it has already been liked more than 11,000 times.

“My first intervention while wearing a bikini during my 11 years as a police officer,” the caption said.

Later, in an interview with the Local, Kellner explained that she “acted on instinct and didn’t think about it so much until after we had pinned him down.”

“When I sat there I looked over at our other two friends who are not police officers and realized that it probably looked pretty funny,” she said. “But I would have stepped in no matter my outfit.”

En stackars hemlös kille som man kan tro försöker göra rätt för sig. Han säljer tidningar istället för att tjuva!! När vi avböjer att köpa hans tidningar passar han på att stjäla min kompis mobiltelefon!! Väldigt skickligt av honom då han smyger ner sina tidningar över mobilen och får sedan med sig den med lätthet!! Osis för denna kille att han råkade sno av två poliser👮🏻👮🏻!! Mitt första ingripande iklädd bikini under mina 11 år som polis!! Ganska kul och trivsamt måste jag säga 😂😂! Se upp för ficktjuvar, håll koll på era värdesaker!!
