18-year-old Shaquielle Olmeda stole a single pack of smokes out of the hands of a 43-year-old man

Florida cops used everything they could including patrol units, K-9 officers and even the police chopper to catch an accused cigarette thief.

18-year-old Shaquielle Olmeda stole a single packet of smokes, but law enforcement threw everything they could at the teenage boy in order to bring him to justice.

The 43-year-old victim was in a parking lot when Olmeda ran by and snatched the packet right out of his hand.

Olmeda took off running as the victim called 911.

Deputies, who clearly take petty theft very seriously in Manatee county ended up using all the resources they had access to.

Patrol units were summoned, the K-9 dog unit was brought out of the kennels and the police helicopter was quickly whirled into action.

Cops on the ground set up a perimeter and before long Olmeda was eventually caught in the parking lot of a shopping mall.

He was arrested without further incident.
