What about a 'citizen's arrest'.
I believe you are able to hold someone caught committing a crime using the
minimal force necessary.

Hi Don: I don't know if that applies only in Canada. It may be O.K. in the
USA.

We can do it in Canada by declaring to the person "You are under arrest"
and its done, you can then hold them. If they try to escape they can be
charged with resisting arrest. A very serious charge.
